E-mail is a motivating tool for teaching writing because children enjoy communicating in this medium. Beginning writers find electronic communication highly engaging, and educators recognize the power of e-mail as a tool for literacy learning. Each student in our classroom has set up an e-mail account through our school e-mail provider. Students have also been partnered up with an e-pal buddy in Mrs. Martin's Grade Four class. I'm encouraging students to check their e-mail as often as possible. We have talked about composing e-mail messages, always remembering that we are sending these messages to people who have feelings, not to computers. A direct link for students to check their e-mail can be found on our school website..
