Writing online, through blogs, wikis, or discussion forums can boost student motivation for writing and help students learn to adapt writing for different audiences, tasks, purposes, and disciplines.
Studies show that sustained and well-integrated social and emotional learning (SEL) programs can help schools engage their students and improve achievement.
As young children learn to write effectively, major goals include using writing to communicate, to persuade, to inform, to learn, to reflect, to learn about one’s self, and to entertain others.
