students who need help getting started writing. Brainstorming and
organizing thoughts is the first step in the writing process. For visual
learners, making a mind map on a computer or tablet may help them
visualize how their paper should be organized. Students can even put
their writing into the form of a book and add computer images or their
own illustrations, using the program Imagination Express. This is a way
to publish books for beginning writers who are learning about the final
stages of the writing process (Anderson, 2008).
Technology can effectively encourage and improve writing skills
for students in primary and secondary grades. It is up to the teacher to
decide how often and in what ways they incorporate technology into
their writing curriculum.
