Dyslexia: When spelling problems impair writing acquisition - 3 views

  •  
    "Dyslexia is a learning difficulty which affects the ability to adopt the automatic reflexes needed to read and write. Several studies have sought to identify the source of the problems encountered by individuals with dyslexia when they read. Little attention, however, has been paid to the mechanisms involved in writing. Sonia Kandel, Professor at the GIPSA-Lab of the Université Grenoble Alpes (CNRS/Université Grenoble Alpes/Grenoble INP) and her team [1] decided to look at the purely motor aspects of writing in children diagnosed with dyslexia. Their results show that orthographic processing in children with dyslexia is so laborious that it can modify or impair writing skills, despite the absence of dysgraphia in these children. The findings of this study are published in the November 2017 edition of Cognitive Neuropsychology."

Chinese Tools - Online tools to learn chinese - 0 views

  • Chinese Order Stroke
    • Rob McTaggart
       
      Great for IWB's!
  • Hand Writing Recognition
    • Rob McTaggart
       
      This is a good way for students to check if their Chinese writing is legible. If the computer can't guess at what it may be, maybe they need to keep working at it. Built for success and great for interactive whiteboards.
  • Chinese Annotation Tool
    • Rob McTaggart
       
      This tool takes a sentence in Chinese (not pinyin unfortunately) and gives an English or French translation for every word individually. Very good for breaking up sentences into small parts, for analysing word-order and for students to check their writing.

  • Chinese Annoted News
    • Rob McTaggart
       
      Great for more advanced students. This site gives small news stories and any word that is hovered over is translated into pinyin and English.
  • Chinese Dictionary NEW
    • Rob McTaggart
       
      This is one of the best Chinese-English dictionaries on the internet, when you consider that so many of the words have audio and an animation of the stroke order for writing.
  •  
    This is a fantastic resource for any classroom learning Chinese or about China. The dictionary pinyin with tones as well as simplified and traditional writing, an animation of the order stroke for many words and audio of how the word should be spoken. There is also other resources such as practice sheets for writing, a translator, and other stuff for kids and the classroom.

Gateways to Academic Writing - Book review - 4 views

  •  
    Gateways to Academic Writing is a fully integrated program for students who are writing in English is one that I would recommend for anyone looking for a book that covers all the bases. I cannot find anything that needs to be added to this comprehensive coverage of writing, whether the student is using English as a first or subsequent language.

"Writing, Technology and Teens" a Pew report - 0 views

  •  
    Teens write a lot, but they do not think of their emails, instant and text messages as writing. This disconnect matters because teens believe good writing is an essential skill for success and that more writing instruction at school would help them.

Draft In - 2 views

  •  
    "This is a simple, elegant writing site for a collaborative writing. Users don't writing in real-time like so other sites, but exchange versions which clearly show the changes made. The other users can accept or decline the changes. It is useful for groups to draft their writing and for teachers correcting pupils work. Each version is archived in case the team changes their mind about the accepted changes."

Improving Writing - 7 views

  •  
    "Writing is vital to most examples of learning. It is how civilisation conveys information from generation to generation, it is how parents often communicate their needs and fears for their children as notes to the teacher, and it is how little Johnny/Jane tells you about what their cat and/or dog did at the weekend. Some people love writing, while others struggle with it, but everyone has to write to some degree in their daily lives, and all of this stems from their experiences in the classroom."

    Even though this is for learning to write better, I think the focus on word choice would make it an excellent educational game for learning English.
