I love this tool. I've been using it for years
Josh Dupree's curator insight, May 2, 2013 8:00 PM

This software is for those who have ADD moments and get distracted easily while writing. 

Charnae LaLuzerne's curator insight, July 13, 2017 9:12 PM

I noticed one of my eighth-grade students using this app on his laptop last year. When I asked him about it, he claimed the technology helped him focus on his writing, without the distraction that his multitude of open tabs presented him. In a multi-grade PBL environment where every student is at a different place in their writing, this student found an innovative way to stay focused! I applaud his efforts. This program does not seem to autocorrect mistakes, but it is possible to copy and paste your text into another document, such as Google Docs or Grammarly.com.  What WriteRoom offers students in my classroom is the opportunity to write without structure, limitations, or distractions. This is for solely putting words onto the page.

      Although many aspects of digital literacy seem to promote visual graphics, media, and more, this app harnesses the old-fashioned text of the first computers. This would provide students with a clear focus on the words of their text, the structure, elements, and craft that comes with a great piece of writing. For more insight into the literary elements of writing, see Hicks' (2013) chart 2.1 (p.17). When given the option of writing digitally or by hand, most students choose a digital format for creating stories (Graham, MacArthur, & Fitzgerald, 2013).

Wordament - Realtime Word Tournament

Wordament - Realtime Word Tournament | Digital Delights for Learners | Scoop.it
The real-time, continuous word tournament!
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

Wordament on iOS is “pure Wordament” – it connects to the same servers, plays with the same players as Windows Phone and Windows 8. Everyone plays together in one continuous world-wide tournament in 12 puzzle languages across all devices. Our iOS version supports 7 UI languages as well: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, and Swedish. If you’ve ever played Wordament – you will feel right at home. We’ve worked hard to make it screen-for-screen identical with our Window Phone version. If you’re just hearing about Wordament for the first time: Welcome! We hope you like what you find!
