Teaching Talented Writers with Web 2.0 Tools
Olthouse, Jill M.; Miller, Myriah Tasker
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v45 n2 p6-14 Nov-Dec 2012
This article is a review of 12 online writing resources and contains suggestions about how such resources might be used in a differentiated classroom with talented writers. Youth with writing talent are defined by distinguishing characteristics and the authors discuss how those characteristics can be supported and enhanced using Web 2.0 tools. Online writing communities can help students with writing talent connect with other avid writers and can offer motivational challenges such as contests and publication opportunities. Resources are available for writers of varying ages and interests; features include moderated discussions and commenting, online and hardcopy publication options, peer models, multimedia integration, as well as collaboration. (Contains 1 table.)
