There are several recent research papers that have been written specifically on The Miss Rumphius Award winners and literacy and technology.

I-Search- Literacy and Technology: The Impact of Exemplary Teachers on the Integration of Technology in the Classroom by Leah Zufall
Unlike the typical research paper, which focuses mostly on reporting just the results of research from an analytical, objective, narrative point-of-view, the I-Search paper requires you to carefully consider and document your research and writing processes. Through interviews, viewing articles, and exploring the Internet, this paper shows the process of becoming more familiar with The Miss Rumphius Award winners, how they began using technology in their classrooms, and what kinds of activities they perform with their students involving the Internet.

This paper explores the many ways the Internet can directly impact the writing process in the classroom. These ways include: collaborative projects, keypals, websites for publishing student work, and companion websites for learning about different genres of writing.
