Hello All!
Starting a great blog is a challenge, and I’m honestly not
sure where this writing will take me. I can, however, say that this blog will
most likely involve ideas with regards to:
1) Education in general
2) Digital literacy in the English/language arts classroom
3) New teaching resources and ideas
4) A plethora of my own opinions/opinions I find intriguing
(surrounding education of course)
I can’t make any promises, BUT, as I learn and grow as a
teacher through my graduate course work this semester and into the future, it
is my hope that this blog may lead to collaboration, inspiration, and
excitement about learning! So here we go…
To start off, I just want to give major props to a couple of
digital resources I’ve learned about recently, and LOVE—especially for their
potential to be incorporated into the classroom (a shout out to my DigLits
classmates for introducing some of these)
Easel.ly- http://www.easel.ly/
- there’s so much potential here for posters and projects
Weebly- http://www.weebly.com/
- a website builder I can’t wait to try and share with students
Booksource- http://classroom.booksource.com/
- a fantastic tool for organizing classroom libraries
Goodreads- https://www.goodreads.com/
- Students at my fieldwork site write reviews of books and read those of their
peers through this website! Each class has a private group where they can share
their recommendations with the classroom community.
I know there are many other fantastic resources out there!
Feel free to add to this list—I know I will be.
Here’s to blogging and learning!
