Oneword.com is a website dedicated to getting your students to start freewriting. When you first open the webpage you will be given a word at the top of the screen which you are instructed to write about for a full 60 seconds, it does not matter what you write, it just matter that you write. Once the 60 seconds is up you have the option to publish your freewrite. The best entries are posted on oneword's blog! This would be an awesome daily activity for students who have trouble getting the writing process started. Oneword is a low commitment, low stress way of integrating writing and technology into the classroom.
Popplet.com is an awesome resource for students who are visual learners and organizers. Popplet allows users to create unique mind maps that help them organize their ideas quickly, and colorfully. Popplet would be a great pre writing tool for short story projects, essays and other written assignments.
