Write right

Here is the text above:Writing is one of the most important skills that we as educators can learn.   But not only is writing an important skill for teachers and students alike, but for anyone that wishes to be a successful communicator in life.  Being able to articulate ones idea and express a point of view in the written word is an absolute necessity for anyone that is looking to join the professional world.  As teachers we will look for the best way to communicate with our students on how to better improve their writing skills.  One of the best tools for this process is the Track Changes tool in Word.  It is something that I personally have already used in the professional world and can not only be useful to help improve writing but also useful to learn how to comment on others writing.  It is said that the best way to learn something is by teaching it.  And that is one characteristic of this program.

The article that we read this week for class titled “Electronic Editing” was an overview on how to best utilize this tool.  It discussed the different types of ways to utilize electronic communication as a means of receiving and dispersing assignments.  I feel like it is a more effective means of communication between the student and the teacher.  One problem that he points out is the ability to add very long comments, ones that would not be written into a paper by hand due to the constraints of space.  It also eliminates the problem of ineligible handwriting, something that I suffer from.  This is definitely something that I will use in my class.  I think it is a tool that needs to be utilized and can have great benefits on the students development of writing skills.
