10 Ideas For Using Technology To Teach Writing

10 Ideas For Using Technology To Teach Writing | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

From the website'

 

"Both high-tech innovations for learning and the inability of many American schoolchildren to write well have been major talking points in educational circles for quite some time, but oddly enough, one may offer a solution to helping remedy the other. There are a variety of tech tools and methods out there for teaching writing that can make the process easier and more fun for both teachers and students. While not every high-tech way of teaching writing will work for every class or every student, there’s enough variety that there’s bound to be something for everyone. Here, we offer just a few tech-focused ways to help students learn grammar, essay-writing, and, most importantly, why good writing is so important to their futures."

The eLearning Weekly Makeover

Welcome to eLearning Weekly Magazine, the next phase in the life of the popular blog eLearning Weekly. eLearning Weekly has been sharing practical “tips and tricks and lessons learned” since founded by B.J. Schone in 2007. Hundreds of posts later and hundreds of thousands of readers later, we are letting the blog grow up to the magazine it has become with new writers and editors and a creative team of elearning professionals specializing in graphics and video.

 

The move to a magazine format has been a gradual progression ever since Schone brought on Eric Matas as the Managing Editor of eLearning Weekly in 2010.The technical aspects of the transition, from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, would follow some content changes like the interviews and LMS spotlight pieces that Matas added.

"The single largest visual element in your elearning course is the background. And the right background can set the stage and build expectations for your learners. A course that looks like a converted PowerPoint file isn’t as inviting as one that is aesthetically rich and looks more professionally designed."

As we continue to discuss important issues such as access, affordability, and personalized learning in higher education, we would be helped by having a richer understanding of the changes that are already occurring. I would like to offer a more descriptive view to capture the growing number of approaches enabled by educational technology. The following is certainly not exhaustive, since the field is rapidly changing. In addition, not all of these models will end up thriving in the long term. My intention is simply to describe some of the primary models and ideally to reduce some of the confusion evident in public discussions.
