Secondary Writing

Authors, journalists and teachers all agree that the best way to become a better writer is to write. Neo and NEO 2 help to improve the quality and quantity of writing by giving each student personalised writing practice.

Motivation to write is a key factor in developing writing skills and teachers have found that Neo and NEO 2 help to remove some of the barriers to the writing process. Students love using Neos. They write more and more often. They are not presented with a large blank sheet of paper but see a window for writing which can be relatively quickly filled with words.

Many schools still experience a void when it comes to hands on writing tools. Neos support writing across the curriculum through a cost effective and adaptable system. Their portability and ruggedness are key features when students will be moving from one classroom to another. These factors plus the incredibly long battery life of over a year with normal school use make them an ideal writing tool in Secondary Schools.

Text can easily be transferred to a PC for later re-drafting editing and adding graphics, images etc.

Beaming allows users to share text for creative writing or for review. Redrafting and editing work becomes a much less onerous task and increases the ownership level of the writing.

With Neos users can cut, copy, paste, find and replace, spell check and use thesaurus functions. There are no internet or games distractions so that students can remain focused and on task with their writing. Teachers can create differentiated frameworks for writing which will support writing across the curriculum.
