PROMOTING WRITING THROUGH THE USE OF TECNOLOGY

Our goal in this blog is to share tools that enhance through different forms that our students write their ideas

Writing  for the web can help students learn how to adapt their   texts for the different audience, tasks or purposes. 

 

Many schools and teachers have an uneasy relationship with technology: they decry its power to distract young people but see it as a necessary evil to be tolerated, or at least strictly limited. Fargo, North Dakota, third-grade teacher Kayla Delzer believes that technology can truly revolutionize education — but only if educators make wise choices about what is used and how it’s used (TEDxFargo Talk: Reimagining Classroom Teachers as Learners and Students as Leaders).

Think about one advantage of the use of mobile phones as learning tools in the classroom.

the more important advantage using mobiles phones in lerning is that students can access anytime and anywhere to inspire to learn in a happy way.
