Escribir con Tecnología

Las computadoras y tabletas te ayudan a escribir, compartir y trabajar en equipo. Puedes escribir un reporte, usar herramientas para revisar la ortografía y agregar imágenes. Saber teclear y guardar tu trabajo te ayuda a publicar textos que otros pueden leer.

Ejemplo: Una estudiante escribe una reseña de un libro, usa el corrector para atrapar un error en 'amigo,' agrega una foto de la portada y guarda el archivo para compartirlo con la clase.
