ADDITIONAL WRITING INSTRUCTION

Teachers  sometimes struggle trying to find time during the typical school day to make the writing instruction students  to be successful.

The teachers reported that they were able to evaluate their individual student’s writing progress to determine next steps in writing instruction. They perceived that student engagement with the writing process increased during the study. Additionally, using an online format encouraged teachers to incorporate other online tools into their instruction and they would have liked the opportunity for more face-to-face interaction with their students .

However, the process was not positive for all teachers or students. Some of the teachers indicated they and/or their student found the software frustrating and they wished they had more time to learn the software before using it with a student.
