Teachers get Basecamp for free Over the years, Basecamp has proven to be very popular with teachers, classrooms, and students. We want to take it to the next level by absorbing the cost and offering it free for teachers to use with their students. We know budgets are tight these days, so hopefully this can help reduce the strain and improve school projects at the same time. Here’s how teachers can get a free Basecamp account. If you already have a Basecamp account which you use for your classroom, just drop us a line at teachers@basecamp.com with your Basecamp username or email address and we’ll make sure you don’t get charged for the account any more. Thanks for everything you do. Teaching is hard work, and, unfortunately, often thankless and under appreciated. Program exceptions and details. There’s a one free account limit per teacher.
Kaizena · Give Great Feedback Write and Improve: An Online writing helper Writing is probably the most difficult area for learners to improve on by themselves. Writing demands an audience and if you have no-one to tell you how successful your efforts are – or not – then you are doomed to repeat your failures into eternity. Cambridge English have, however, just released a beta version of an online, browser based writing helper. Currently free to use and requiring only a facebook login (or email registration), the service allows learners to input their answers to one of the five questions provided (or submit a piece of writing of their own choice) and to get feedback on their efforts. In the screenshot above, the highlighted text at the bottom of the image is the submitted text. You’ll also notice the “tabs” under the heading Detailed Feedback these are meant to provide a closer look at what errors the writer has made and give suggestions for improving them: As it stands, the feedback it gives is primarily linguistic and syntactical. So who should use this tool?
