ABSTRACT:
This report discusses the implementation of Electronic Networks for Interaction (ENFI) at Kendall Demonstration Elementary School at Gallaudet
University in Washington, D.C., and William D. Clinite Center for the
Hearing Impaired in Tulare, California. ENFI was developed to help improve
deaf students' written English. The report will be useful to teachers
and program administrators who desire to use computer networks and
interactive writing to develop the English literacy of deaf students.
