Top Tech Tools that Turn Students into Better Academic Writers

14 November 2014 by Karl Rivers Leave a Comment

When technology started affecting the educational processes, many teachers were sceptical about the effects it would bring. However, the current trends in classrooms all over the world prove that technology enhances the problem-solving skills of most students and is especially effective when it comes to improving their motivation and accomplishments in academic writing. There are many EdTech tools that have revolutionized the way students approach academic assignments, but the following list includes the most effective ones:

SpellCheckPlus

When students rely on the regular spelling and grammar checker of the word processor they use, the results are far from flawless. This spell checker identifies the mistakes that are commonly missed by word processors and helps students correct them prior to submitting the paper. When students weren’t able to use text-aware tools that identify the errors in their content, they had to spend a lot of time in proofreading that didn’t bring to perfect results. Thanks to this tool, they can easily check their work and learn something along the way.

Ninja Essays

Before technology revolutionized the entire educational system, students didn’t have effective solutions for their writing struggles. They had to continue writing papers without a relevant thesis, miss deadlines or ask their friends for help. Everything is different today! With the help of Ninja Essays, everyone can hire professional writing assistance at different stages of the process. The website offers the help of experts from various fields of study, as well as editors who can bring the papers to perfection.

A Research Guide for Students

When teachers assign academic papers, they rarely teach their students how to conduct a thorough research that would help them write a trustworthy discussion. Thanks to technology, students can fill those gaps in knowledge. This website provides effective research, writing and referencing guides that lead them through each stage of the academic writing process.

FreeMind

Mind mapping is one of the most effective techniques that help a student write better academic content. Planning is the stage that everyone likes to avoid, but FreeMind is a tool that makes it fun and effective. When students use it to outline the structure of their essay, the entire writing process becomes faster, more focused and effortless.

Imagination Prompt Generator

Creative writing assignments seem simple at first, but many students find themselves staring in the blank page without a single idea crossing their minds. Creativity Portal has a solution – it provides intriguing writing prompts that help students get their creative juices flowing.

WriteWords Phrase Frequency Counter

It’s not easy to pay attention to your own habit phrases and count how many times you have used them in a paper. Thanks to this EdTech tool that count the frequency of different phrases, students can avoid repetitiveness and make their papers more interesting.

Writing Forward

Writing Forward is a website that covers every possible stage of the writing journey and helps students improve all aspects of the content they complete. The resources include guides on creative writing, proper choice of resources, referencing, grammar tips, writing exercises, and much more. Through the practical, fun and inspiring content at this website, everyone becomes aware of the importance of developing effective writing habits and practices.

Technology increases the potential of each student!

With proper use of technology, students can not only reach their current potential of learning and writing, but go beyond the limits and achieve results no one expected. EdTech tools have transformed the teaching and learning methods and helped both teachers and students improve their perspectives.

The seven tools listed above are a great example of the improvements that each student can experience by implementing technology into their writing practices.
