As a writer, I constantly look up spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. It is a good habit to get into. With spell-check and grammar check students are more likely to overlook the need for this. Websites on grammar are a great way to give examples of grammar. If your goal is to increase your students’ grammar skills, then this is something you want to consider. Grammar websites allow the student to teach themselves with multiple ways of having a concept represented. If you project one of these websites, it can be a strong visual to represent common instances of correct grammar or common grammar mistakes. There are also advanced spelling and grammar checkers. The one I use is Grammarly.
