            This website provides many selections for English language arts that you can choose to utilize within a regular classroom. This site is very easy to search for stories or to upload your own. This is a great community for readers and writers to share their passion for storytelling.  It also contains library feature to create reading lists of students’ stories; encourage students to visit this list instead of roaming freely across the site. This site is used as a tool to help students practice and study writing in depth.  For instance, they can talk about the brainstorming, writing, editing processes and the importance of receiving feedbacks. Talk about how collaborative writing can help both educators and learners improve and grow. This is basically an internet tool for reading and writing.

            This website already contains the necessary tools and procedures for both educators and learners to interact, communicate, read, and write through collaboration. It also enables students to share their thoughts online or publicly instead of on papers only. For these being said, Wattpad is a website where educators and learners can share their writing and reading to enhance creativity in reading and writing, character, communication and collaboration.
