Online Writing Resources

1.) Tutor-vista.com
2.) Rubistar.com
3.)readwritethink.org
4.)www.edzone.net/~mwestern/ww.html

My favorite online technology resource is ReadWriteThink. It is divided into different categories including student interactive activities, grade-levels, themes, and learning objectives. It has so many different lesson plans for reading and writing and it also has a lot of student interactive activities for your class that could be easily integrated into a classroom. It also has a lot of information from the National Council of Teacher of English. I have integrated a lot of information about the writing process in my master's project using this site. It has research about different teaching strategies and how to make them work in your classroom. It also has professional development cites and parent and after-school resources.
It can be used in every aspect of your teaching. It has information for teachers about how to teach writing in a more efficient and beneficial way to your students. It has student activities that are very fun and interactive that could be integrated into s mini-lesson during a writer's workshop. It also has standards from the NCTE and what they expect different grade levels to learn and be able to do. It is also very easy to find information on the site. It is organized and simple. If you have not used this resource, I would highly suggest it!
