Overreliance on technology tools in writing can be avoided by developing self-management skills, effectively using technology, and building writing and reading habits. Teachers have expressed concern that digital tools make students more likely to take shortcuts in their writing instead of putting in effort. However, technology overreliance can be reduced by balancing technology use with improving writing skills, such as setting goals, choosing focused writing environments, and practicing different writing styles. Strong writing requires developing vocabulary, critical thinking, and understanding diverse perspectives through extensive reading.
