Ways to Inspire Better Writing

We all know that practical application of skills engages students best. When they are putting skills into practice in everyday activities, they will remember them better and excel. Sean Hackney offers two great ways to help your students improve their writing skills by practicing, yet without feeling like it's more work. Hackney doesn't believe more writing is the answer. Instead, through the use of technology (blogging) and collaborating with peers, students can practice and hone their writing skills.
