Story Writing Trends in E-Learning

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 20, 2011 -- Typically, e-learning is perceived as a format for attaining higher education degrees and certificates for busy adults with limited budgets. However, the state of Illinois has long been experimenting with the design and implementation of virtual classrooms that will replace the custom bricks and mortar public school system for children. These online courses are provided by some public schools, where students can access lessons through the website, use chat and email to communicate with instructors. Naturally, story writing fits in perfectly with this style of curriculum.

While parents and educators may have mixed feelings about the e-learning format, we have seen children and parents use our website www.littlewritebrain.com to develop and illustrate original storybooks and take delight in their creativity. One popular activity, particularly for children, is the in depth story development process. This involves choosing different characters, scenarios and settings on different pieces of paper and encouraging the child to develop plots based on themes and preset options. They can then use these different situations, characters, symbols and scripts to put together a story. Parents have written to us stating that our interactive online format has helped to improve their children’s interest in storybook creation and storytelling. Our unique online learning experience encourages children in reading and even creative writing.

Similarly, a thoughtful and well-planned approach to e-learning in any subject can benefit many children in U.S. cities that are otherwise dealing with overcrowded classrooms and budget-strapped schools with declining academic resources. Additionally, parents can observe and monitor their children’s educational progress much more closely. Any education method that simultaneously enriches a child’s academic experience while deepening parental involvement should be further explored and strong examples must be emulated.
