How I Use It

Quill could be a valuable tool to substitute or augment the grammar workbook. Students tend to be more engaged by online activities that give feedback than paper-and-pencil exercises, but the content is ultimately the same. It would be ideal for use as a station in class, as a time-filler when students need some extra practice, or as a homework assignment.

My Take

Quill is a very simple tool, and this has pros and cons. Students aren't doing anything differently than they would be doing in a grammar workbook. Students get immediate feedback when they make errors, which is helpful, but the feedback that they get isn't so great - they are told that they have made a mistake, but not what they should do to fix it next time. Teachers are able to see students' progress in a snapshot, but not the timing and performance stats that are given on other practice websites. More robust feedback and more features for teachers would really make Quill shine.

Replaces but doesn't transform the grammar workbook
