OverviewSlide3
Inspiration for ResearchSlide4
The writing process has changed due to access to digital tools (Yancy, 2009). Dalton (2010) suggested
that teachers can use technology in every aspect of writer’s workshop.
Olthouse
(2012
) stated that
students can use
Web 2.0 tools during the each aspect of writing process, including planning, drafting, revising, and publishing. Stover and Young (2014) examined the use of VoiceThread for peer revision and editing.
Young & Stover (2015) determined that using kid blog to peer revise/edit writing increased the quality of students' writing Young & Stover (2013) described how to use text to speech software for revising and editing.
