Improve your writing skills!

Camilo Toro Arias's curator insight, April 24, 2017 3:14 PM
We all have been through the pain of writing academic essays. Yet, many of us still feel doubts on how the structure will be set, the linkers will be used, the paragraphs will be divided, and so on. In order to solve this, the use of technological tools is a must since they offer much more than just entertaining. Apps like "Evernote", "Mindnote", "Hemingway" will help the writer organize his ideas in such a way that the writing process becomes easier and more fruitful. Hence, the promotion of this kind of apps in the classroom should start right away so the academic writing results improve from the beginning!

Fantastic resource! All in one place. 

Texxlady's curator insight, June 2, 2015 1:38 PM

Writing requires discipline, focus, talent, sacrifice and a thick skin, so I have no idea how I’ve managed to survive this long without my editor noticing my fundamental lack of these skills.

What I do have though is an awesome arsenal of tools and web applications that help paper over any cracks in my expertise.

From idea generation, to writing without distraction, to creating jargon-free copy, these 17 tools should also help you improve your own craft and hopefully stop you from banging your head against the keyboard for too long.

Is text messaging hurting our grammar?

Is text messaging hurting our grammar? | Creative teaching and learning | Scoop.it

"we all tend 2 write a lil diff when we r writing txt messages with friends. FYI, this shorthand might be hurting your grammar! Seriously, though, strong grammar comes from building good habits, and breaking them when texting can end up leading to the formation of bad ones, which can ultimately lead to poor grammar. This …"

GRAMMAR: This site has a great infographic commenting on the grammar used in text messages. I think that this would be a good conversation starter for a grammar class or introduction to a grammar unit.

Maria Angélica Morales Valencia's curator insight, September 14, 2016 10:08 PM
Normally, when we write an article, essay, narrative paragraphs, etc… we are so inspired that do not pay attention in the grammar mistakes, although word lets us know certain mistakes, it is an incomplete tool that has a lot of ambiguous suggestions. Most of the tools that we found at Internet are not useful due to the fact that are not developed correctly so we have a lot of ideas and our written text is almost perfect but as students, our grade is low for the grammatical errors. Now, thanks to 5 tools we can check our grammar and be sure that our text is accurate. The tools are: Grammarly, Paper Rater, After the deadline, Online correction, Hemingway Editor. All of these tools are available to improve our grammar competence.
