My selection of teachers resulted in three active, workingteachers from primary school to secondary school.Broadly, the inquiry resulted in that the computer is very important for the students' text development as it is believed to increase the motivation of students. According to the result that there are obstacles such as digital literacy, lack of technology and resources that can cause problems. The informants were also disagreed on what age that the computer should be introduced as a writing tool in school, but they all agree that it is a beneficial tool in writing instruction as long as the purposewell thought out.
