Guiomar Swartz: "Technology can help enhance the three traditional approaches to L2 writing (Highland, 2009): as a product as with OWL's (online writing labs) commonly used as reference materials for things as grammar, sentence structure, punctuation etc., as a process (as with digital story telling, online dictionaries and encyclopedias, writing model tools, word processors., google docs, feedback from tutors, mind mapping -like the one Belle proposed this week! -presentation softwares, writing tutorials....) and as a social practice like microblogging programs as Twitter, Facebook (where people can keep up with friends and communities and communicate with a virtual audience by practicing summary skills) Wikis (colaborative writing) and Blogs are used by teachers to develop writing skills where research shows that students can progress by writing at their own peace and being able to access a very wide range of tools to support their L2 writing at very step of the process. Walter & White (2013)."
