My Access!

My access is a web-based instructional writing program that provides students the opportunity to develop their writing skills. It allows students to input their assignments into the computer. This guides them through the process of the assignments. It's good because sstudents recieve immediate feedback from the system about their writing. It gives the child motivation to improve writing. It scores the students writing skills. They also have access to a variety of tools such as a writer's checklist, that helps guide students through their writing process. There are scoring rubrics that students can use to self-assess their own writing. The system checks for grammatical errors, gives suggestions and also gives explantions of rules that help students improve tense sense and spelling. As a future teacher I would love to be able to have a program such as this because the students can benefit from it, especially multilingual and ELL students. I wish they had programs like this years ago to help enhance the learning of students. Today it is great to have all of these programs and technogies intergrated class. The students can use these programs to learn and grow and by applying what they learn in their future jobs and lives.
