Transform your students' writing through support of the iPad. Learn how an iPad can help your students increase their text production from scribbling to invented spelling to persuasive essays. Explore the full writing process: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and publishing. Specific strategies for struggling students will be shared and fun apps at each stage will be demonstrated. A key focus throughout the day will be using apps to inspire writing for students who use a range of pencils, from traditional writing tools and computers to alternate pencils such as light tech alphabet flipboards and onscreen keyboards.
Student writing samples (pre- and post-) will be shared and participants will engage in brainstorming activities to customize materials for their students and curriculum.
