The low scores on standardized writing tests have prompted a serious review of writing in Middle School. Focusing on the critical thinking aspects of writing, this unique mobile app, for the iPad and iPhone, teaches students that preparation, research and outlining are the hallmarks of excellent writing. These essential writing skills serve students well through high school and college.
Niles Technology Group, an education company dedicated to the skill and art of writing, has created an app that starts students off on the correct track to be become good high school and college writers. Starting with a critical thinking foundation, the app teaches students that it is impossible to write what one does not think. While seemingly sounding obvious, many students begin writing thinking that if the words do not come to them immediately then there is a problem. Middle School Writing 1.0 teaches patience in developing ideas; how to properly construct arguments; and, how to confidently and influentially present ideas.
"In Middle School, writing is downright scary and is often more intimidating than public speaking," explains Michael A. Niles, president of Niles Technology Group. "And, unfortunately, most students never recover to become confident writers. Middle School Writing 1.0 changes this dynamic in favor of the student. Using a proprietary step-by-step writing process, the app guides students into the world of organized, critically-structured writing. Once students understand that writing is not an ad hoc process, but a personally designed one then they open up and are more creative. In summary, Middle School Writing 1.0 successfully creates reflexive, thoughtful writers."
Schools and teachers have discovered the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month the volume purchase of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile apps in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents have also caught on because Essay Workstation is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. For the lower grades, Middle School Writing has become a solid No. 2 bestseller, with both parents and schools purchasing the app. The Niles app catalog can be seen in the App Store by simply entering "Niles" in the iTunes search.
