Grammarly - spelling and grammar check App

I have just stumbled upon a free application that could prove to be incredibly helpful when writing your coursework - Grammarly.

This App works as an extension in Google Chrome. Grammarly works in real time to help you correct the spelling and grammar of anything you type  by automatically highlighting mistakes and enabling you to fix them at the click of a button.




This is especially useful for you guys, as you are asked to submit all of your work using a web browser you do not necessarily have access to the Spellcheck feature of Microsoft Word. When you are using Blogger the Grammarly icon appears at the bottom of the page, once you click its icon you can go into edit mode and correct any mistakes, or you can just hover over any word that is underlined red. Simple!





Browse to their website, sign up for free, add the extension to your browser (see below), and give it a try. It's free, and could really help you.

How to make a Blog post

The first step is to log into Blogger and sign in to your account.

To make a new post, click this icon.



Now you will see this screen.


At this point write a suitable title (look at the assignment brief!). Now in the box below type your assignment. Although we are using a blog format, you are still completing academic work, so use appropriate language, make sure to check your spelling and grammar, and think about the structure of the work.

When your work is complete, add a label. This will be related to the project you are working on at that time, for example 'Induction Project'.



Don't forget to press PUBLISH! Otherwise we can't see your work, and we can't mark it.
