Is your student having difficulty working at the higher level of writing?

When writers have difficulty with writing styles, using their experiences, organization, synthesizing, inferring and comprehending then a breakdown in the writng process will occur.  A good way to help a student like this could be to use Inspiration/Kidspiration(program), iThoughts (app), WritingKit (app for iPad) to organize ideas and have a visual graphic organizer(with the understanding that the lower level skills are defined and they are at this level, if not then development in the lower level skills need to be developed before expecting the higher level tasks to be accomplishable).
Some apps we have found that will help in this area are:

EverNote(Free)
Advanced multimedia note taking and sharing.
Save texts, visual, audio notes etc.
iThoughts(9.99)
Mind Mapping, graphic organizer with many
funtions to organize writing thoughts.



                                       


Writing Kit (4.99)
An app that allows the user to do other outside research while writing,
and can easily move pieces of text and images from the web to their file.
To see a tutorial follow www.youtube.com/results?search_query=SCO0302+-+writingkit+ipad&aq=f

We have found a video full of information about getting writer the the final step of the writing process.
