Powering+Up+The+Writers+Workshop

[|Elluminate for Classroom Practice Track A]

==**Come join representatives from two school districts (Englewood and Littleton Public Schools) describe their partnership to infuse technology into the intermediate grades literacy blocks. We’ll discuss the low cost hardware and software used to “Power Up” the writing process. Then, and most importantly, we’ll walk through the writing process and share at how technology can complement every step, from prewriting, drafting, self-and peer editing, conferencing to 21st century publication methods. After this hands on section, we’ll discuss the results that we’ve seen in our districts, where teachers are saying things like “The use of the laptops has transformed the way I teach writing. I can't imagine going back to pencil and paper. I'm thrilled with the progress my students are making and I"m sure my writing scores will reflect that as well.” **==
