Wednesday's Web of Knowledge


         This is a website designed to provide students with a fun, engaging way to write.  Best of all, it’s FREE!!  Students get their own login information, and are able to write a book.  You can have writing competitions, in which students are able to judge the work of others.
         There are two options on writing.  You can select a topic from the website or you can insert your own topic. Once the topic is assigned, students login and begin writing.  The class can work together to write a book also.  Each student writes a chapter for the book, and then everyone votes on the chapter to be used in the book.  This enables everyone to participate in the book writing adventure. 
         Once the book is complete, the book can be viewed online (with a special code) and is also available for purchase in the soft-cover form.  This site is a great way for to incorporate technology into writing.  The great part is students enjoy being on the computer and sometimes don’t even realize how much they learn.
