Groovelit for Writing Fun

Students love competitive gaming with tools like Kahoot, Gimkit, and Quizziz. There is a tool geared for 3rd grade and up for writing that is similar to these game-based tools. Groovelit is a fun way to practice writing. Students are given a visual and text prompt and create a writing sample (they can also use speech to text for this), and the Goovelit AI tool scores this. There are points earned, rankings displayed, and it is competitive like Kahoot and Gimkit. If you are looking for a way to up your writing practice, give Groovelit a try!
