My Access
My Access is an awesome program to use in the classrooms. I think that this program will really help the students to improve in their written assignments. I am sure that most students would love to be able to use this program to write their essays. This program is great because it helps the students in the process of writing, from the first step of organization, until the last step of giving them a feedback of how well they did by just submitting the essay. When I used it to write my essay, I was a little unsure of what to write, so when I submitted my essay I got a low score. However, when I used the program to revise the essay, I used the prewriting features which in a way guided me in how to write the essay. The amazing thing of it was that when I finished the prewriting, it was posted on the space of the essay. This is great because you do not lose your time rewriting what you just wrote. Actually when I submitted the essay the second time, I noticed that there was an improvement in the score. This program has many features to assist the writers such as a word bank that suggests the use of vocabulary that makes the essay more meaningful. The program is wonderful and if I would have the opportunity of using this program in the classroom, I will welcome it because it is such a great innovation, which most students and teachers would love.

I agree with you on My Access. I really like and enjoy how they give the word bank and thesauruses t help the students. I think it is important for children to use tools like My Access to improve their writing, because unlike what most people think it is not just an easy way of writing a paper like Microsoft may be it actually teaches you how to write better.
And I did not even have time to show you the offline resources. It comes with teacher's guides and unit resources that you can use when you do not have access to a computer lab setting.
Thanks for responding. I am glad you enjoyed!
