Day Nine: Writing Right

This morning, we went through the writing process. I had some idea of how complex this process was, but was still surprised by all the components involved. For example, before one actually begins physically writing, they must attend to the task, visualize their ideas, employ various metacognitive skills, use lower level mechanical skills (pencil grasp) etc... I was exhausted and overwhelmed just learning about this process, and I wasn't even completing the tasks! Usually when we think about the "writing process" many of these components are left out; check out the pictures I've posted, and compare the glaring omissions.
Our task will now be to complete a Blog that outlines the writing process and the assistive technologies available to help those who struggle with this process. Our professor has two links that illustrate an example of what this assignment will entail:

You may notice that I have added links for each of my classmates' blogs; feel free to explore.

Today, I had time in between classes, and I played a word search game I bought for $0.99. I find my small fingers are still a bit clumsy when it comes to "circling" the word, so I usually just put a line through the word.
I also downloaded the Pocket Pond app... how can something so simple be so engaging and addictive! I love the fact that the fish respond to your touch (which ripples the surface of the water).
