In the Classroom
After signing up click Manage Students to get a class code, URL, and to start adding students. This rather intensive job will take some planning ahead. Look at the required fill-in boxes before starting. Free accounts can have one class and 30 students. If you have a larger class or more than one class, there is a "workaround" for this. If you have a Gmail account, you can add subaccounts (see directions to do this here). You could create another Zing account with this subaccount; you would end up with two different accounts for your classes. Give the students the class code to log in and find their name on the class list. Bookmark your Zing account on class computers for easy access, and post the link on your teacher website for students and parents to access the program at home. Consider requiring students to use the tools on their dashboard for taking notes or highlighting main ideas and supporting details. Students can also use it when writing a review for a book, and then you can conference with students to have them show you their work. Resource teachers and ESL/ELL teachers will find this tool invaluable for having their students reading at appropriate levels.Edge Features:
Includes an education-only area for teachers and students
Parent permission advised before posting student work created using this tool
Requires registration/log-in (WITH email)
Premium version (not free) includes additional features or storage
Products can be shared by URL

Use the PDFs in your class or during professional development. Take advantage of the many free resources and ideas on this site. Bring some technology into the presentations by challenging small groups of students to transform the PDFs presentation into an interactive learning tool for younger students or their peers. Ask them to add questions, feedback, more images, etc. so the PDF becomes a student-created tutorial on an aspect of digital citizenship. Of course, students will be graded on the accuracy of their information as well as their creativity. Think of it as inverse teaching. Have students extract the information (with proper credit of course) and create their tutorial using ePubEditor, reviewed here, or Zeetings, reviewed here. Prepare a rubric before you start or use our Rubrics to the Rescue to find one that shares your expectations for this project.
