Teaching process-based writing may have originated in physical classrooms, but it can be applied and even enhanced in distance-learning settings. Teachers who have used a process-based or workshop approach to classroom writing instruction are faced with the challenge of choosing and using distance learning tools and platforms that support hands-on methods to nurture student writers. This workshop offers participants the opportunity to use and evaluate platforms and tools configured in a way to strengthen the writing process. Activities will focus on the easily accessible suite of Google tools as applied to online writing instruction. Google Slides to create writing portfolios, Google Translate for developing thematic vocabulary lists, and shared collaborative documents used in breakout groups will all be featured in this workshop. Participants will be invited to provide feedback on these approaches as well as to share their own favorite tools and methods.
