At the Virtual School Society Conference on April 22, 2010, we presented on "Improving Tomorrow’s Writers Today with Turnitin.” Given today’s global economy and the ever-evolving workplace, today’s students need to learn how to develop inquiry, collaborate effectively, think critically, solve problems, make decisions and exhibit technical proficiency. Instructors often struggle with finding a balance between teaching students mandatory course content while enhancing their students’ 21st century skills, especially if it requires technological savvy. Many instructors are skeptical of whether technology is really the answer to better preparing students for tomorrow or whether it is just another distraction from important instructional content. In our presentation, we illustrated how Turnitin can give instructors an opportunity to teach both content and skills while saving them time and increasing the amount and type of feedback on student writing.
