I love all the great ideas you put together! Students can also write into children's magazines like CRICKET and SPIDER. They have contests every month. We have had students get poetry and are art work published in the magazine. I am doing an afterschool program about the publishing process. I love all the great ideas you put together!

Is there a reason you didn't include it next to Shelfari? Should I change my social networking tool? :) Thanks for the great resource, Joan Nice list –

My students write in Hebrew or in basic ESL but I'm sure I will be able to adapt many of the ideas. Thanks for sharing! Nikki Hi Larry,

I need to spend some time going through it. This is all new to me. I am a student in a course at the University of South Alabama. I was certified to teach secondary English years ago and am re-certifying. Needless to say, writing opportunities have drastically changed. What about checking writing as students post. Is your goal simply to get them writing, or do you have some way to look over the published product? I would like to know. Larry,

The system (Destiny) we use allows students to write and post reviews on books in the catalog. The reviews need to be approved before they are posted.

Thanks for sharing it with us. I will add one...futureme.org. Students can write a letter to themselves and it will be sent to them in the future on a date they designate when they write the letter. Great for setting goals at the beginning of the school year and getting a reality check in January. This is an awesome list! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I was writing my lesson plans for this upcoming semester and came across a site called http://www.thefreeresource.com which seems to also be good for students and teachers. Since finding it I have used it in my classroom on a few occasions to help teach my students about some of the topics it covers. They give trusted information within their articles about many topics and then additional education and government resources for more reading. They also seem to be searching for teachers and professional writers to help them gather trusted resources and write articles. Anyway Larry, I just wanted to give more input in addition to what Debra and the other community members have said. Great sites Larry.
