Empower Students to Write

Originally this workshop was titled Empower Students to Write with Digital Tools; however, I believe we are beyond specifying the tool. We want students to be writers. We teach them to use a variety of tools, then we let them choose the appropriate tool to get their story out of their head.

Learn about 10 or more tools that will engage hesitant writers in creating and publishing their writing. (While modelled on a Macintosh computer, there are cross platform equivalents.)

The purpose of this session is to give 10 valuable integration tools. This is not a lab situation; however as a BYOL, participants who bring a computer with them will have the opportunity to use it throughout the presentation. The intention it to provide introduction to concepts and sample tools for you to explore to engage writers. While I am presenting on a Mac, in this handout is a table of alternatives. The concepts will be discussed with examples for specific grade levels; however the tools are flexible to be used for a broad range. //Suggested outline// Writing Process Writing Activities Writing/ Tips and Tricks Questions Kevin's Digital Footprint
