Cooperative Learning and online tools to enhance the writing skill

Rate 5

According to what I read in the articles “Process Writing and the Internet: Blogs and Ning Networks in the Classroom” and “Online Collaborative Writing Using Wikis” I realized that there are a lot of ways to enhance the writing skill in students such as blogs that are used to post information by authors. Also, we can apply networking sites in order to enhance students’ writing skill, the networking provides tools that allows the users to upload videos, photos, etc. to their profile. I personally think that updating information either by blogs or networking is very useful to motivate students to write and share the writings in an interactive way which is something interesting and motivating for students. Moreover, we have the wiki that is a website that allows students to edit the information posted at any time they want; therefore, students are able to practice a cooperative learning by writing because students have the opportunity to modify and correct what have been written; therefore, everybody cooperates in order to get a good result.

  1. Hello Tomas. In your post, I liked that you highlighted team work when using a wiki page, because everybody can edit any mistake that is made. Aside from that, if we use a wiki page in a class, it would definitely improve their writing skills, we just need to motivate them to use the internet wisely.
