Queering College Writing: Writing Students' Learning of LGB Issues Using the Internet as an Instructional Tool
Burnes, Theodore R.
Journal of Gay & Lesbian Issues in Education, v4 n2 p75-88 2007
How do writing teachers use technology to help students learn about lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) issues? What is the nature of writing students' learning about LGB sexual orientations and academic writing when the Internet is used as a learning tool? Participants completed a questionnaire in which they reflected on a writing assignment incorporating themes of sexual orientation as well as the use of Internet reference sources. Analysis of the responses yielded three dimensions of "Internet and Privacy in Learning about Sexual Orientation," "Internet as an aid for writing course assignment," and "Examination of Attitudes toward Sexual Orientation." Implications of these findings for teachers of writing are discussed. (Contains 1 note.)
