Two Minnesota High Schools Choose WriteToLearn

April 8th, 2008 Pearson announced that students at two Minnesota high schools are now using WriteToLearn™ to develop writing and reading comprehension skills. Both schools are using the award-winning Web-based learning tool to help students build literacy skills and prepare for the new Minnesota writing assessment. The schools are Dunwoody Academy High School, a new technical charter school in north Minneapolis administered by Dunwood College, and Robbinsdale Cooper High School, part of Robbinsdale Area Schools in New Hope, Minn.

These Minnesota adoptions come closely on the heels of the launch of WriteToLearn 5.0, which debuted with a number of new capabilities. More information about WriteToLearn is available at www.WriteToLearn.net.
