- Benefits
- MS-Word is technology that has become “transparent”for most users:
- Have teachers focus on assignment pedagogy, not authoring technology.
- Have students focus on the target language, not authoring technology.
- Document is protected (for restricting formatting to predefined Word-styles):
- Have students focus on form or content, but not on distracting formatting issues.
- Styles are designed to facilitate teacher monitoring students’ work using Sanako screensharing, like so:
- Take advantage of MS-Office Proofing tools (templates are preset for your target language).
- Take advantage of easy assignment file management with Sanako homework activity.
- Take advantage of internet lookup process, especially pedagogical if you combine with Sanako controlled-web-browsing activity
- MS-Word is technology that has become “transparent”for most users:
- Requirements:
- Teacher
- The easiest is to save the writing template for your language in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033 (or if your run 32-bit MS-Word on a 64-bit Windows, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033)
- Then base your writing assignment document on the template (e.g. by double-clicking the template in the folder you saved it to).
- Then save your writing assignment to your class material folder on the Sanako network share (from the office or in the LRC).
- In class, launch the Sanako homework activity.
- Student: none other than downloading and submitting the Sanako homework.
