Engage Teens in Writing with Figment

I am excited about the potential Figment has to really engage students in writing. By signing up for a free Figment educator account, you can give your students a space to connect to other teen writers and professional authors.  Students complete their writing in their own private space and publish it to the Figment database once completed.  What I love is the potential Figment has for online collaboration and instant feedback.  Let's say your student has a moment of writer's block.  Through Figment your student has a community of writers waiting to give him or her some ideas.  Want to connect your student writers to professionals?  They can also do that through Figment.  Are you looking for examples of different types of student writing?  You can search Figment for many different examples. 

I wish Figment was around when I was teen. Even though I loved to write, I would have been even more inspired by this site.  Figment provides a great tool to motivate students to write through instant feedback and connection with teen writers from around the world.  View the video below to learn more about Figment educator accounts.
