Computer Writing ClassroomComputer Writing Classroom
We are very fortunate to have a networked computer writing classroom in which to teach
some of our classes. If you are assigned to teach in these classrooms(J 203 & J-214)
you will need to familiarize yourself with the hardware and software.
Software
The software,
Daedalus Integrated Writing Environment (DIWE), is designed specifically for the writing classroom and involves students in the
processes of thinking and writing. We encourage teachers to use this classroom in
innovative ways that go beyond a collection of word processors.
Learning about DIWE
If you are teaching in this classroom you will need to review a copy of the Daedalus
teaching manual. You might also consider talking to other teachers working in the
classroom or consulting the online
teacher support for Daedalus.
Classroom Startup Procedures
The basic start up procedures for the classroom are available for your persual. Please
contact Dr. Mark Stevens with any questions.
Emergencies
If there is an emergency in the classroom, please contact Donna McPherson (x.7202)
in the main office.
Classroom Supplies
All supplies are in the metal closet. Donna McPherson will give you a key to this
cabinet. Please notify her if supplies are low.
Classroom Alarm
For security purposes, this classroom is equipped with an alarm.
| Mark Stevens is the Computer Writing Classroom Administrator. Contact him for a brief

classroom and technologies before you starting teaching. Consult the Program Assistant
