In the Classroom

Challenge your students to a disscussion using the ideas from Thinkalong, reviewed here. To help students prepare for the discussion, have them write about their opinion(s) for selected questions first. Replace paper and pen and have students create blogs sharing their thoughts understanding about the book using Site123, reviewed here. If you are teaching younger students and looking for an easy way to integrate technology and check for understanding, exchange paper and pen and challenge your students to create a blog using Seesaw, reviewed here. After completing the discussions, challenge older students to choose a question and create a script for the ideas that emerged from the discussion; then strenghthen student learning and have them put it into a podcast. Use a tool like Buzzsprout, reviewed here, or redefine learning with a multimedia poster using Lucidpress, reviewed here.
