Tools to Help Students Analyze Their Own Writing | Free Technology for Teachers

Tools to Help Students Analyze Their Own Writing | Free Technology for Teachers | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

Like many of my students, I'm often guilty of writing in a rush. Doing that leads to three bad habits that appear in my writing. The first is omitting words that should be in a sentence. The second is repeating words in a sentence when I try to revise a sentence midstream. And the third bad habit is using the same phrases and sentence structures too frequently. To change my habits I'm trying to slow down. I've also enlisted the help of a neat Chrome extension called Wordtune.

In an age of technological advancement, it’s easy to feel obsolete.  I feel confident that education will always be needed; but, occasionally I wonder if writing education has value in a computer-driven world.

7 Important Ways That the Web Has Changed Writing Skill Requirements — Emerging Education Technologies

7 Important Ways That the Web Has Changed Writing Skill Requirements — Emerging Education Technologies | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
Do a bit of research on the impact that the Web has had on writing, and you will find plenty of articles moaning about millennials and their use of ‘text speak’. It’s a shame that the conversation on this topic has been so rather narrow, because the truth is that the web has changed our expectations in some very profound ways. These changing expectations mean that the definition of literacy itself is changing. Educators who focus on simple literacy instead of digital literacy may be leaving their students at a disadvantage.

How to Help Students Improve Their Note-Taking Skills

How to Help Students Improve Their Note-Taking Skills | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
Students love it when teachers provide class notes—the more complete the set, the better. Students want the teacher’s notes online because it’s convenient, they’re readable, well organized, and relieve the student of having to expend much effort during class. A lot of students need the teacher’s notes because they aren’t very good note-takers themselves. They practice stenography rather than note-taking, trying to get down the teacher’s words exactly. That way, even if they don’t understand, they can memorize what the teacher said and find it on the test. But that’s not learning.

How does academic writing impact a student’s life? – MakeMyAssignments Blog | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

Education plays a significant role in everyone’s lives. It helps in the growth of personality and transforming identity. Not to mention, but most of us have spent our childhood at school. During this time, we did/do many things that directly affect our lives and have been important for us in the long. Although at times, we fail to recognize its relevance, in some way or the other, they affect our lives. In our life, academic learning is one such thing that contributes a lot to make us a complete human being. Good qualities and habits get developed during this stage of life and stay with us forever.

The major part of this academic life revolves around classrooms, lectures and other extra-curricular activities. Also, during this academic stage, we have to go through various grading and assessment processes, which make us confident and enhance our perseverance. For instance, academic writing is an integral part of the school module and often carries a significant amount of marks for students. Academic writing is a tedious process, and most of us write different assignments and projects just to achieve better marks. These grades play a vital role in building up our career and are crucial enough in positioning us as a scholar.

You may even approach a visual fashioner to make for you a banner ad design, which you will have the capacity to alter independently from anyone else. In the event that you wish, you may include your own particular pictures and content. You simply need to share your requests about the banner ad design with the expert planner and he will make for you a format which might be a guide for your future work on it. In the event that you are not ready to make your standard advertisement outline alone however you can essentially complete the work, you may request this administration. The format, which the website specialist will give, will just give you the arrangement for the standard promotion plan. Later you should embed your own particular content and different substance into the banner ad design.

The Tools (and 10 Execises!) to Improve Your Writing Voice

The Tools (and 10 Execises!) to Improve Your Writing Voice | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
We hear the word “voice” a lot in appraisals of writing. The term can be confusing. You might hear, “Aden’s voice is just so original!” or “The voice of this piece really punched me in the gut.” These are terrific compliments, but what exactly is voice? Most commonly, voice refers to how a writer’s unique word choice and syntax reflect her worldview, identity, or personality. So if someone tells you that your writing has a strong voice, he is expressing his appreciation for the singular stylistic fingerprint imbued in your essays/stories.

You’ve probably already got your own personal narrator voice—and practice will only improve it.
