My Take
Quill has replaced my need for Daily Oral Language instruction in the form of copying sentences from a board, or printing out packets of weekly DOL exercises. I encourage students and families to use the program. I have trained students to use Quill in class and then shared it with parents to reinforce grammar lessons taught at school.
How I Use It
I use Quill to reinforce direct instruction and during independent work time to reinforce skills. Students are learning to type on iPads (elementary) or Mac Books (middle school) and I think that alongside direct typing instruction it gives students practice typing on their devices. Students who type with just 2 fingers find the lessons long, however, as students' typing skills progress the lesson move along quicker.
