Problem of Practice: How can technology be utilized to increase student motivation and engagement in the writing process?


District: North Shore

School: Glenwood Landing Elementary

Facilitator: Tom Troisi

Principal: Bridget Finder

Teachers: Brittany Matalon


This action research process involves modifying student motivation and engagement to increase their level of writing in a significant way. In the past, parents were able to be a part of the publishing process. Due to COVID, these parameters have been compromised. Parents now have little involvement in celebrating their child’s writing accomplishments which lessens students' motivation. I am hoping to use this as a motivator for students while involving parents in a virtual manner.
