Write together in real time using this collaborative word processing tool, 2Write is the cornerstone of many of the activities used in Purple Mash. It offers a word processing tool for learners to use in written projects, not just in English but across the curriculum.

The tool we want to highlight this week is Developing Tray. Developing Tray, within the Text Toolkit, is an application that draws children into applying their knowledge and skills of reading to an unknown text. It encourages work, not just on a word level, but on a sentence and whole-text level. It works well as a whole class activity using a whiteboard but can also be used by groups and individuals, with or without a teacher.
