Today, we are in the computer lab using the Holt Online Essay Scoring. This is a part of our online Holt textbook where students can write an essay and the computer will "score" it for them. This gives students instant feedback so they can improve their writing. Is it worth the time and effort? We shall see! So far, we have had a few issues. One essay disappeared. Another essay froze and could not be thawed out. Yet another essay was written in all caps and could not be scored.
Students have been using the online graphic organizer. We just figured out that you can copy and paste from the graphic organizer into the text box. So far, I like the Holt Online Essay Scoring. What do YOU think?
P.S. Make sure you print, write your name on your essay, and then read the model essay. What could you improve on next time?
I like using this computer stuff. Its way better than using the textbook. I also like the pretty, purple backround on the website.
