Pre-writing and Drafting
● Visually organizing their writing
● Synthesis ( relating different
concepts)
● Reverse-outlining an existing draft
to understand how the pieces fit
together

movement, erasing, and re-doing
than with pen and paper

maps can go wherever students take
them

 Revising and Proofreading

● Support students to correct their spelling

students are trying to spell as they type,
therefore offering instant feedback as well
as more accurate suggestions to correct
misspelled words.
Publishing

● Collaboration tools allow students to post

their work, read others’ work, and to share
constructive feedback with each other.
● Educators can guide student feedback with
prompts.

organize, and share their work as well as
reflect.
