These programs are recommended for students who have some basic spelling skills. They would be a great benefit for students who have it all going on but are having difficulty putting it on paper. Is this considered cheating? No we are only provided them with a means to output their thoughts. They are gaining skills that they will have forever. A great discussion today about how we report on students using word prediction software.
Co- Writer- great word prediction.
Write Q
Typ-O App
TikiNotes App

Test drive of WordQ. This word prediction software was a little tricky to get used. But I am sure with some time it would become useful. One of the benefits is the floating tool bar and I liked how small the box was that showed the words. It also has a speech application and will read what you wrote back to you. As I already have co- writer on my computer in the classroom I will be using that one first.
