Technology in the Secondary ELA Classroom

Common Lit is an awesome tool for grades 5-12. The focus is on making measurable gains in reading and writing. Teachers can find passages/text sets that are aligned to a specific novel or a literary device. Passages come with comprehension quizzes and tools for improving skills.

BoomWriter is the perfect tool for group writing activities.  With BoomWriter, the teacher can select a writing prompt from the website's library or create his/her own.  Students will write a piece for each subsequent chapter.  Once all students have submitted their work, the teacher opens a voting period in which students read one another's work and vote on the best chapter for the story.  By the end of the project, students will have collaboratively written a story!

No Red Ink is a great option for practicing grammar skills.  Students will take a pre-assessment to determine the skills and concepts that need work. Then, the system automatically assigns and evaluates their progress. You will get a detailed report of the students performance and the skills that they are working on.
