My students have a daily writing prompt with a rubic for grading purposes. Writing is also embedded into the program/curriculum used in my classroom. A student and teacher friendly program with  immediate feedback.

I grade writing on specific standards (structure, organization, etc...) using a student friendly rubric.

I grade writing for one specific element. This way the students know what I am focusing on, so they aren't as stressed about the entire piece of writing.

I’m expecting the online-writing process to be a supplemental tool.

I try to teach using the writing process. This breaks their writing into steps and doesn't seem so overwhelming.

When I give students a larger writing assignment, I start by giving students a small look into the broader topic of focus that students will be writing in. Students will be asked a question, and in doing so will need to brainstorm and write a short paragraph. Once they get their brain juices flowing, we delve deeper into the topic with a classroom discussion.

Students are then given the broader writing essay that includes the rubric, essays, materials for reference, and a step by step process of ways in which will help them put this essay together. For instance, if this is a narrative, we might think about descriptive words that reminds them of that memory.

I assign writing prompts daily and rubrics  to provide guidance for writing projects.

I use a variety from free writing daily journals to formal writing using all 5 steps of the writing process.
I usually use a rubric to grade.
Help giving feedback to students faster then I can do on my own.

I would like a system that could auto check the assignments. Many students don't use proper grammar, capital letters, or even a period.

I try to make writing as real-world as possible.  I  want the writing to have a real audience other than me.  I always keep a copy of the final, but I want the writing to go somewhere.

I section the writing into pieces so my students do not get over whelmed. It is usually embedded into what I am teaching for writing. I do not know what I would want in an online program.

I want to see a program that provides student-friendly, meaningful feedback.

I assign writing by pairing it with a text that my department is teaching.
Unfortunately, I grade writing slowly. Having 35 students per class takes a lot of time if you want to provide valuable feedback. I pair writing with a rubric, but it still takes a large amount of time to grade and return.
I would like an online program to aid in providing feedback to my students on simple writing errors. I would like a program that is user friendly.

Typically, I use a rubric to grade writing.  Sometimes, I grade for specific content.  Sometimes, I look for specific transitions or sentence types used correctly.
I would like an online program to give quicker feedback and assist in identifying convention issues.

I try to assign a variety of writing that includes the full writing process. I like to include poetry, non-fiction essays and fiction storytelling.

Writing is usually paired with a text.

It is graded using a rubric that students have been introduced or given prior to beginning the assignment. Feedback is given on the essay and I try to focus on one thing that was great and one thing that they could improve on.

I would like to see something that helps me grade the writing in a more timely manner!

I try to assign writing in pieces, so it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. We work the intro, then conclusion, and once those are done we work in the body sections.
Grading writing is a slow process, so I have them peer review before I ever see it.

I assign writing as parts to a whole.  In the beginning of the year, I have them really focus on certain areas, i.e., introduction, transition words, and their conclusion (that way it makes it easier on me to grade).  We progress through the year focusing on different areas of the essay and then at the end of the year they have a well-written essay (well, in theory anyway). I would love to have a writing program that helps me grade it, in order to give the students feedback in a timely manner

I like to teach writing by giving students something controversial to write about, so they have a personal interest in the writing. I also like to allow students the opportunity to write  within in a group so they don't feel overwhelmed in accomplishing so much at one time. - Jaime Marks

What I want from an online program: Something that the kids are used to is instant gratification. It is very time consuming to look at each individual paper and provide feedback in a timely manner. At this point the initial excitement of the assignment/essay has faded and students are less likely to revise and publish.

I like to give students a mix of writing assignments: some for fun, some for academic reasons. I want to make sure students have choice so that they will be more motivated to write. I grade mostly for higher order concerns rather than worrying too much about lower order issues at first. I would like an online writing program that helps with lower order writing issues so that my students and I can focus on things like organization and ideas rather than grammar and spelling.
