Review of Websites

Our course textbook, Assistive Technology in the Classroom, provides many resources for teachers to help students. In this post I will be reviewing two websites to determine potential usefulness for instruction in the classroom.
1. ReadWriteThink
ReadWriteThink is a resource for students who have difficulty in the writing process. The website is easy to use and you can scroll through so many different ideas to use in the classroom! They have so many different fun interactive ideas that it will make writing a breeze. For example, students can construct a real cube by listing key elements of a person for a biography or autobiography on each side of the cube. This website shows that writing does not have to be boring. It helps students with prewriting, writing, creating poems, and so much more! Having these interactive and fun activities will bring more creativeness and organization for students when they begin to write. All the resources on this website are completely free! There is also a section for parent and afterschool resources!

 

I have provided below a YouTube video of a teacher explaining how ReadWriteThink works!
