Exploring Cooperative Editing and Revising Skills Using SMART Technology

Abstract
Students applied the SMART Board technology to help improve their revision and editing skills. We asked, "How could we use SMART Boards and wireless slates to improve student editing and revision skills?" We found when students voiced their educational concerns, they had a sense of accountability. It was important to pace instruction that allowed students to understand revision and editing concepts. We learned that student writing significantly improved when students were involved in whole-class peer revision and editing technology environment. We will continue to have students reflect on what we are doing in class, listen to their voices, allow more brainstorming time, continue to gauge the pace of our instruction, and provide more instructional time.
