3. How does technology help task-based writing?

There are many useful tools to help task-based writing. There are actually lots of fun sites for students to have fun while writing. One of the aspects of task-based writing is providing an alternative ending to the original story or create your own story. For example, in wikispaces.com, the teacher can set up a topic or genre, one student can start creating his own story, maybe a paragraph, then other students could follow, and maybe the last member of the group could finish the story, give an ending. If the teacher gives a topic which is similar to an actual reading book but just change a word or so, then students would be excited to create a totally different story.

These kind of writing activities could be followed by grammar, spelling, or vocabulary checker such as spellchecker.net. If the student puts his paragraph(that he wrote) into the box in spellchecker, it would provide some correct or alternative options for parts of your sentences.

These kind of tools could be shared by many students or groups, therefore is interactive work.
