I started using this site by posting a class discussion question and then having students reflect on the page using their IPads. What a great way to see their thinking instantaneously.

This is a great website for students to catch up on current events. Students find the articles interesting, and they are not very lengthy. I especially like the writing prompts at the bottom of the page. What a great way for students to learn about, analyze and reflect upon current events.

I chose this site because I have always found RAFT activities to be great for use in all curricular areas. Students get to a deeper level of thinking when they are prompted to connect their learning using the RAFT strategies. I also have like using the writingfix.com for many writing ideas. -Angie
