This study aims to investigate some teachers’ views of the use of IT in the teaching of writing in grades 1–3, and the possibilities and limitations inherent in its use. Four interviews were conducted with teachers at two different schools. One school had good access to IT tools while the other had little access. The result shows that the teacher’s view is affected most by their own interest in IT and not by the availability of IT in the school. All the teachers were favourable to the use of IT in teaching and saw great potential in it. On the other hand, there were limitations which teachers must be aware of and take into consideration if IT is to benefit the pupil’s progress in writing. Since all pupils learn in different ways, it is important to achieve multimodal learning. By using IT in teaching, the pupils use several different senses. IT should therefore be a part of multimodal learning, but it also needs to be supplemented with other tools, such as paper, pen and other concrete material.
