My Access!
I had the honor to work with My Access in class the other day...I must say the program was absolutely awesome and so unique. I really like the fact that the students could see the different errors as far as punctuations and it explains exactly what should be there and why it is placed in the spot. It was very informative and acted as a guide so that students can learn while doing their essays how they can improve their styles of writing...I also found the grading report once the essays are submitted is very informative and allow students to see their weaknesses as well as their strengths...the My Access is a very helpful program not only to students but to teachers as well...not every teacher can be perfect and give each and every student the feedback they deserve this program allows students to get this feedback to help improve their writing skills and make them better essay writers the only downfall with this program that I can possibly think of is that students make take advantage of the tips they provide...and instead of reading and understanding them they may just correct their work without knowing what they did wrong and how it is supposed to be otherwise this program will help the students with future essay writing and I feel this program is really awesome and I will def. try to have this in my classroom or bring it up to my school district!

Kris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing this review.
You claimed, "not every teacher can be perfect and give each and every student the feedback they deserve..."
How true. MY Access! gives teachers an option and can help them in providing a fair assessment of writing.
Excellent!
