This practicum investigated whether using whole language, cooperative learning, CAI, and an authentic audience to create a magazine would help second and third grade students to learn punctuation skills. The practicum was implemented at a private, south Florida summer computer camp to two different target groups of eight elementary students. Both groups were in the morning sessions of the camp. The students ranged in ages from 6 to 8 years old, and all students had at least some exposure to computers prior to attending the summer computer program. Targeted students each wrote an article for the magazine. Three objectives were developed: (1) that all members of the target group would improve their punctuation of sentences, specifically periods, capital letters, commas, and question marks; (2) that all members of the target group would write an article for a magazine that was completely free of capitalization and punctuation errors; and (3) that members of the target group would produce a camp magazine containing articles and graphics. Most of the targeted students met these objectives. Results of the practicum indicated that integrating computers into classroom magazine writing provided the correct environment for learning punctuation skills.
