WriteFolioTM: Breakthrough to the Student Writing and Research Challenge
Grand Rapids, MI and Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) May 06, 2016 -- In the scramble to meet student writing and research needs for Common Core State Standards and 21st century careers, educators struggle to piece together solutions.
Now, AwesomeStories announces WriteFolioTM, designed to meet the needs of teachers, students and district and school writing departments.
WriteFolioTM is a new app in the MakerSpace for the Humanities suite that supports instruction, writing and authentic assessment with its online portfolio.
“I never expected to be able to see a student’s writing progress so easily or so completely!” exclaimed Polk County Public Schools Director of Writing, Diane Plowden.
“Now we educators can view the progress in student writing in detail, as can each student and parent.”
WriteFolioTM works seamlessly with AwesomeStories’ archive of almost 5,000 stories that introduce K12 topics across the curriculum supported by 100,000+ primary sources, enabling students to engage in research to fuel and deepen their non-fiction and fiction writing.
MakerSpace for the Humanities, with this new e-portfolio app, now supports the entire research and writing process from teacher prompts to student research, writing, citing, multiple revisions, final grading by rubric, publishing the multimedia writing on the website and inclusion in the student’s WriteFolio.
