Today Mrs. Yollis' class got a little more time with the 1:1 cart!
 |
| First, students opened up Word. |
 |
| After typing a quality comment, the students went up to Tools in the menu bar and selected Spelling and Grammar. |
 |
| After fixing all the spelling and/or grammar errors, the students were given some information about their writing. |
 |
| Grace's comment showed a grade level writing of beginning sixth grade! |
 |
| Miriam's vocabulary pushed her up to an eighth grade level! |
 |
| The next step was to copy the text. |
 |
| Finally, the students pasted the quality comment into a blog comment section of their choice. |

Would you use Word again?
