it is presented the help you get by using google docs as a support to make feedback for example in academic writing, check the history and revision of the drafts. the importance of keeping on track the comments that the educator can give by explicitly underlining a sentence. very good tool since I will be an educator in the future.

some great ideas here to use when students are proofreading their writing. |

I appreciate the breadth of options suggested here. This is not, "just use tech!"

A very important reason to use media tools is to give a voice to everyone, even little ones!

Heel erg handig lijkt het me voor de talen-docenten!

This in-depth post explores the issue of language impacts our ability to think. After an introduction the post is split into three sections. The first section explores "the psycholingusitic case for writing education." It is noted that the Common Core states that students in grades 6-12 "should demonstrate increasing sophistication in all aspects of language use, from vocabulary and syntax to the development and organization of ideas, and they should address increasingly demanding content and sources.” What follows is a look at language, where we see that the language we learn impacts us in many ways, that some cultures have many words for a word like snow while others do not, that cultures whom have language that have "gendered objects" impacts how people view the objects. The second section explores "Can you teach better math and science be teaching writing?" Information is provided about New Dorp High School (in New York). The school implemented a program that included "writing-to-learn" across the curriculum (except for math) and discovered that major gains in writing were apparent by the second year. The third section "highlights ten features of writing education that can be used to enhance student learning across all subject areas, ultimately resulting in higher academic performance." The first two suggestions are below (all are quoted from the post). 1. Vocabulary Across The Disciplines: Emphasize that the concept of a word may change depending on the context in which it is used.

This article gives compelling evidence that the ability to write effectively is closely linked to the ability to think coherently. The author writes, "Students’ inability to write was contributing to their inability to think, severely impeding intellectual growth across many subjects." |
