- A great way to put a variety of things in one visually appealing place. I created a thinglink for the blogging training last week with information about paper blogs as way to get students started with powerful and meaningful comments (highway vs. dead end comments) and a webquest that might be a great way to get them started. Blogging in Elementary
- I helped Robyn Litt create her first one with all of her powerpoint ands other information on curriculum design. Curriculum Design by Robyn Litt
Thinklink is a great tool that motivates students and organizes information so that you can access it all in one place. I just uploaded the documents that are in the Thinglink to Google Drive which gave me the link to use for the hotspot. Hotspots are the little icons that when you hover over which give a description as to where you will go if you click on it.

For those of you interested in getting started blogging here is a great way to start:
Great presentation about Docs to Blogs from a colleague presenting at CUE https://docs.google.com/a/eusd.net/presentation/d/11TUxdOpHm5iSOPvqLLUFgFairOn1QMJG1pacp0ljo_A/edit#slide=id.p Begin with a paper blog to teach the rules of blogging and mainly commenting http://www.notesfrommcteach.com/2010/09/learning-to-blog-using-paper.html There are two types of comments when it comes to blogging: Highway and Dead-End comments. You can elate comments to these two terms; a dead-end is a place in the road that stops and you can’t do anything, a comment that leaves no available responses is a dead-end comment. A highway is a road that keeps going and going until you want to exit; a comment that leaves the author and reader to engage in a conversation is a highway comment. Why blog with elementary students? https://sites.google.com/site/bloggngwithelementarystudents/ http://saramboucher.weebly.com/blogging-in-the-classroom Once blogging use twitter to connect students with people that will comment and provide feedback on their work #comments4kids or use Quadblogging or Primary Quadblogging at http://www.mrswideen.com/2014/06/registration-is-open-for-primary.html |
