ICT & Writing

writingict

Over the next few months I will be releasing posts primarily aimed at an ICT & Writing Development Group I have set up within school. The purpose of the group is to develop and share the use of Web 2.0 technologies and learning platform tools to enhance children’s writing development.

Each post will contain details about how to use one tool. Members of the development group will then plan to use the tool in their classroom and feedback information about how they used it, whether they can see potential for the tool to help enhance writing development, any pitfalls etc. This will primarily take place through a Primarypad ‘pad’ viewable on the same post and be available for anyone to view. All project posts are viewable by clicking the ‘ICT & Writing’ link on the right.

I hope that others outside the school who have used any of the tools before will contribute and each pad will become a rich resource for teachers to develop their use of web 2.0 technologies and children’s writing.
