WriQ: Writing Assessment made easier

The creators of Google Read&Write for Chrome, Texthelp, just released a new tool called WriQ.  This is an extension available from the Chrome Web Store that works in Google Docs for the purposes of assessing writing.

To learn more about WriQ, here's a deeper explanation.  Check out this introductory video on how WriQ works:

Currently, WriQ is available for teachers free of charge for 2018/19.  It does a reasonable job of analyzing conventions and calculating an age-equivalent score for the writing.  For any given genre of writing, there is a rubric that you can use to assess the quality of writing.

Texthelp have self-learning courses available to learn more about using Google Read&Write for Chrome and EquatIO (math made digital).  Click here to go to the self-directed tutorials and certification site.

WriQ and Read&Write links are available from the Language Arts page of the weebly site.  EquatIO is available from the Math page of the weebly site.  Let me know if you'd like more information or support with any of these programs.
