Technology as a Tool for Responding to Writing Prompts

Students working togetherStudents at Vails Gate learned exciting new ways to respond to writing prompts.  ITF Helen Zoutis worked closely with Reading Specialist Nancy Bliss to infuse Read Write, Flipgrid, and Screencastify as digital tools to engage the students.  Using these tools and the built in camera, students recorded themselves.  They then met with Ms. Zoutis and quickly learned how to use Read Write (software) prediction and speech to text, while Ms. Bliss and other students observed. All were amazed at how quickly students can use this tool, and Ms. Bliss witnessed how much can be accomplished in one sitting.   the student was able to accomplish in that one sitting.  Perhaps most important, at the end of the unit the student quietly said, “Thank you, I learned today.”
