1:1 Laptop Time ~ Word!

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.

What are the benefits of using Word to compose a comment?

Would you use Word again?
