Masterclass 4: Writing success anytime, anywhere
February 1, 2009
Sponsor: Crick Software
This session will be presented by John & Ann Crick, both former teachers. The presentation will draw on the experiences of real students to show the benefits of using online software.
Today’s students are used to being able to access applications from any computer at any time. They use sites such as Facebook, You Tube and online chat as part of everyday life. Having edu-cational applications delivered online is therefore a natural way for students to work and offers numerous benefits for both students and teachers.
Online tools allow students to work on their documents on any computer. In addition, web 2.0 tools enable students to establish an online dialog with their teachers. These concepts will be illustrated with the innovative WriteOnline, recognized by the worldwide Java community as this year’s most innovative education project using the Java platform (The Duke’s Choice Awards).
The presentation will also demonstrate how students of all abilities benefit from software devel-oped using Universal Design principles. This includes reluctant Writers and English language learners. All attendees will receive a complementary 28 day login for WriteOnline.
