Technologies and the Future of Writing Spring 2009 Module 3

A relatively simple, free, online handwriting analysis tool.

A place for teachers to go and get ideas, collaborate with other teachers

True stories told in one sentence. Like the twitter of the writing world.

This is an awesome website. It's a website for youth through 13 years of age and teachers. Children submit their art or writing pieces with possible publication. The website displays art work and allows the audience to read what the children have created or listen to the story, which is actually read by the child. Really cool!

This site is for people to review books they've already read, find nooks they would like to read, or post their own reviews.

Great site to get lesson plan ideas and information and a site to send students to for homework help

Web site with strategies to improve literacy comprehension in the classroom. Include before, during, and after reading strategies.

This is my favorite tool as a college student. It is the easiest bibliography maker I have ever used.

Travel and writing go together like passports and visas. Most major newspapers have travel sections, dozens of magazines are devoted to travel, book publishers churn out guidebooks to destinations great and small, and books by authors like Paul Theroux and Peter Mayle have helped to breathe new life into the long-dormant travel narrative or "armchair travel" genre. This doesn't mean that travel writers are getting rich. (In fact, most aren't.) But it does mean there's a large audience for travel prose. You can reach that audience if you know your subject and can bring it to life through good writing.

These are all math games that can be played in the classroom with all different ages of children.

Baseball news

This is a website geared toward teachers of all different grades. It has strategies for all different types of learners. I feel a teacher or a future teacher could benefit from checking all this out!

Online travel magazine dedicated to exploring travel in the 21st century. Offering travel news, compelling interviews, online travel tools, and more.

This website offers videos for teachers that would be helpful with teaching lessons.

This site is organized by four teachers who blog, podcast, and webcast. The purpose of this blog/podcast is to develop teacher knowledge and leadership to improve students and teachers. This is a very useful site in which all can access.

You may be wondering what professions are available for the writing arts major. I was, and this website gave me some ideas!

What benefits for being a teacher do you get? How much do you get paid? This website answers some of those questions.
