Technology in Tutorials

These past two weeks I have been using the computer to have studnets generate simple sentences with provided subjects, verbs, and adjectives. The second activity was putting nouns together with adjectives. The point to these exercises was to help with collocational knowledge that can help them in writing their papers for class. So, using the computer with Word to create sentences was not too difficult. In fact, correcting and inserting feedback is quite useful, and they don't have to carry another piece of paper, which they could eventually lose if they don't keep track of it. So, using computers for one-on-one purposes like this is very useful for both myself and my students.
