On Monday, Melanie and Erika has worked with a Child Development class as they began a Pinterest project. The students had to set up Pinterest accounts using their student Gmails, follow their teacher, and then be invited to "pin" to shared Nursery and Layette boards. This process came with some obstacles, but once accounts and passwords were created, things ran more smoothly. This was a reminder to me to always plan ahead when using a Web 2.0 tool for student projects.
During 4th block I met with Ms. Shepard to plan activities and technology products related to the Dystopian fiction unit.While I had initially thought of student created book trailers, we decided that Destiny Quest book reviews would be a better fit for this class. Students will also create a visual/text digital product to represent their understanding of the novels or a specific characters. I am excited about working with this class and glad that I have read 3 of the 5 books that the various groups read.
The letters truly do "pop" so you have aced the whiz/font snob style I'm so proud of!! LOL. I'm looking forward to the Destiny Quest unit-remind me to sit in, and I'll help or assist you, Mrs. Shepard, or the kids as needed. I have some ideas for the digital visual product as well when you want to hear them....
