Publisher Description

Traditionally, for grades K 12, instruction focuses on reading rather than writing. Yet writing is a vital tool that allows us to communicate our feelings, ideas, and values; to exchange information; to participate in economic and civic life; and to be self-reflective. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) acknowledge the increased importance of this neglected skill as essential for learning, communicating, and thinking in the K 12 classroom. Coupled with this emphasis is the arrival of digital tools for teaching writing. Using Technology to Enhance Writing emphasizes the need for K 12 teachers and administrators to harness technology to support writing instruction. This comprehensive anthology unites leading educators to examine the benefits and challenges of fusing technology with writing instruction. This book is divided into eight parts with three chapters each.
