A new writing platform, which is available through the iPhone and iPad, has been welcomed as a useful tool to encourage students to think critically.Essay WorkStation 2.1 was developed by the Niles Technology Group and has received some glowing feedback from teachers and students as a useful tool to help students to develop essay-writing skills. More and more students are realizing the value of developing better writing skills and the essay app is helping them by enhancing their skills in argument development. Nile Technologies said the product was the most comprehensive and effective of its kind on the market. Michael Niles, the company’s president, said, "Our goal is rather simple; for an affordable price, to provide students with essay writing guidelines coupled with a mobile writing platform that are second-to-none.”He went on to explain how the technology helps students: “Once students understand the concept of higher order essay preparation, they instinctively spend more time researching, outlining and planning their essays; and, therefore, when they write, arguments are both well-structured and supported with logical reasoning.”Students and teachers alike have welcomed the platform, which suggest that they offer real value and that there is an appetite for these kinds of educational technologies.
