I think having your students learn to check ...Eric,<br />I think having your students learn to check their own grammar, especially as elementary students, will help them (and their future teachers) tremendously down the road. Slickwrite looks like a very useful tool for that. <br />Even my high school students love making comics to showcase what they know. There are so many cool apps and sites to create comics. I'm not familiar with the one you shared but I will be glad to check it out. Good ideas, thanks for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17293849008164022840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589624035015253750.post-31425390507574948142017-09-03T16:35:04.035-07:002017-09-03T16:35:04.035-07:00Eric-

I went on and played with it for a while and I can see how kids would enjoy using this tool! I also really liked the plagiarism tool! I think it's very important for students to start learning about how to prevent plagiarism early. I think that these tools can definitely make a difference in the classroom.

The reason why I chose this is because I work with elementary students and they think that spellcheck is the catch all and will make their paper perfect after clicking on it."<br /><br />This is so true! Helping students to self-diagnosis grammar and style errors in their writing will make them more independent writers. I also recommend having students run their writing through a plagiarism detection tool. There are many free tools available. Most plagiarism is not intentional. In this copy/paste world, the sooner they learn about plagiarism and how to prevent it, the better. <br /><br />Dr. DellDr. Diana Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03911466284834403633noreply@blogger.com
