End Notes [!] "I Sing the Body Electric: The Near-Literary Art of
the Technological Deal" appears in Approaches to Computer Writing Classrooms:
Learning from Practical Experience. Ed. Linda Meyers. Albany, NY: SUNY
Press, 1993 (53-63). Not only does Deborah feel we should "assume that
the arrangement, design, and features of a multi-use computer center will
predate any composition-computer effort" (55) and therefore expect to have
to work with whatever is available, she also suggests moving to different
rooms for different tasks; something I discovered long after my experiment.
In "Integrating Theory and Ergonomics: Designing the Electronic Writing
Classroom" from the same book, Gail Hawisher and Michael Pemberton survey
instructors from the computers and writing community and almost all agree
that it is important to provide both public and private spaces (39). Shifting
classrooms works perfectly for just such a task.
