Teaching, Tech and Twitter: Ignite a Flipgrid Fire - 1 views

  • 5. GridPals! An incredible idea from Bonnie McClelland, GridPals connects classrooms across the globe creating virtual pen pals. You can take advantage of GridPals using Flipgrid One. However, if one of the GridPals teachers has Flipgrid classroom then you can become CoPilots on the same grid giving both teachers access to the educator dashboard.

  • The beginning of the year, at parent conferences, a send-off to the next grade are all ways to get families involved in encouraging and supporting their kids.

      I will use this as a bridge to communication about what is happening in the classroom- Have students teach introductions to their parents, and film them doing it!!!

      This could be a way to have students construct the anticipatory set!
  • 1. Virtual vocabulary word wall When working on a unit have your students record a video describing the meaning of important vocabulary words. They can hold up a card in their selfie video with the word written on it so the words are easily accessed by other students.

Tip of the Week: Tumblr in your classroom? Maybe. Just maybe. | History Tech - 2 views

  • The truth is, every platform has its strengths and weaknesses. My argument here is pretty simple–there is no perfect platform for student blogging because everything that does exactly what a teacher wants sucks for students, and anything that is exactly what a student wants will probably get a teacher fired.

      Tumblr was a bit hard to navigate for me but it allowed for a lot for creativity, I can see why students would like it.
  • seven quick reasons why Tumblr may be perfect for the writing / blogging / posting / literacy piece in your room: Students can post by email. There’s an “ask” system. It’s social-by-design. Hashtags, sharing, reblogging, tweeting–it operates both as social media and a blogging system. It’s flexible. It can be visual or textual; video or gifs; audio or links; conversational or one-sided. It’s already on their phones. Well, most of them. Though they may delete it when they found out that you know. It’s dead simple to use. Reblogging is an interesting way to share thinking–and simple too. Maybe too simple to be considered cognitive heavy lifting, but that’s all in how you use it. Liking posts, using hashtags, posting new blogs–all simple to do from a tablet, phone, laptop, or desktop. It’s platform-agnostic. It works (almost) equally well across operating systems, much like Evernote. In fact, it can be thought of as the Evernote of blogging platforms.

      All of these functions are pretty impressive, I feel like tumblr is a little more flexible than other blogs in what content you can add to the blog such as gifs, audio, video, links etc. 
  • Tumblr is microblogging and social networking website that many of your students are using. As of last week, there were over 200 million Tumblr blogs out there. Think of a cross between Twitter and Facebook and you start to get a sense of what it looks like. It’s not really a tweet. It’s not really a blog. It’s not really a website

    I've never tried E-Pals but it looks promising if you want to find a "sister" class to team up with your class to write/chat. Anyone with experience with this site?
  •  
    That's so funny that you just posted this...I posted a question a little bit ago about the same thing. I have heard of EPals, but have never actually used it. I wonder if it would be a lot of work for us as teachers?

    I found this while sorting through my old bookmarks to add them to diigo. Anyone ever used this or heard of it?

    I want to say that they have been around in a number of forms over many years - maybe even started at St Olaf College as Classroom to Classroom Connections back in the 90's?? But they've grown into a huge corporation now! These kinds of projects are the ones I like the best - when you get kids talking to each other!
