Blog Assignment #13

What Did I Leave Out? 

How Can Technology Aid in the Improvement of  Language Arts/English Classes?  
 Make a list of different ways that you think that technology can help in an English/Language Arts Classroom and be sure to give a description.

  When doing research about using technology in an English/Language Arts classroom I came across a lot of good websites and apps that can help students not only in school but also when they are at home. There are plenty of more ways that technology can be used in the English/Language Arts classroom but what I found is only a few.

1. Edublogs- This is great to allow students to use technology and incorporate writing and creativity.
2. Studysync- This is a digital library that also allows writing practice.
3. Wordle- This is a great website that creates word clouds.
4. Mentor Mob- This website allows teachers or students to put different reliable sources to use for
specific projects.
5. Poppet- This is a great website to use for brainstorming.
6. iTooch Elementary- This is a free app that can be downloaded and allows students to practice different language arts skills in a fun interactive way.
7.  Come Learn Spellings- This is an app that can be downloaded and it helps students learn how to spell with the use of flash cards.
8. Solaro- This is an app that is used as an online study guide that covers language arts.
9. easyLearn English Grammar- This is a free app that will quiz students on the 8 parts of speech.
10. English Vocabulary Test-  This app allows the practice of vocabulary words.

  1. Hey Lauren! As someone who loves English I found this blog to be very informative and helpful. I really like that you did your research and added the links to your blog. I will definitely use some of these websites in the future. I think it is important to incorporate technology in any subject but I feel like it is easier to think of ways to incorporate it into English. These are all great resources that any teacher can use. You may want to go back and add a t to the end of no in between students and only. I think that is what you meant. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
