Welcome to WriteSite

With nearly 100% of public schools (and 93% of classrooms) connected to the Internet, strategies for teaching writing are changing. Web-based WriteSite, a writing management system currently hosted by OETC (Organization for Educational Technology & Curriculum), provides teachers and authors easy access to their writing from anywhere—via the Internet.

Educators using the "process approach" to writing (prewriting, drafting, responding, revising, editing, publishing) quickly learn how efficient the Internet is as a tool for integrating instruction and technology. Networked databases now host student writing, and teacher-designed lookups makes the retrieval of that writing a snap. Due to the nature of the Internet, WriteSite provides a forum to post and respond to writing, both within classrooms and around the globe.

In addition to supporting a writing curriculum, WriteSites are easily adapted to host a myriad of projects that are limited only by the imagination of creative teachers. For example, recent projects include a middle school literature discussion group, a password-protected faculty discussion forum for a local elementary school, asynchronous college-level thematic response forums, and a specialized WriteSite that has been modified to support a community education course in conversational Italian.
