I have set up a new station for our writing time, WORD PUBLISHING. After revising and editing process, my students will now be using Microsoft Word to finish their writing product. I was having a hard time motivating some of my students to write during writing workshop time. I have noticed that many of my students are now eager to write to be able to get to the final step, which is Word Publishing. I have allowed them to insert pictures as well to make their stories seem more real. Some of my kids have been very creative with their products.
After the students are done publishing their writing, they email me their stories through EPALS.
This allows me to grade their writing from my home, versus staying late after work or taking their journals home. We have also set up a folder for each subject so that they can stay organized.
I am beginning to see all the benefits of integrating technology in my class, and I will continue to try and find new ways of making my job easier and more exciting for the kids. Using technology is definitely a plus!
