5 Great Activities from Read Write Think
Have I mentioned how much I love getting the RSS feed from Free Technology 4 Teachers each day? If you haven't subscribed to it, I highly recommend checking it out. This article is about the website Read Write Think. I has a lot of great resources for elementary teachers. Now I thought that would exclude me, but I quickly found a few useful things and I know that many of you reading this blog will be able to find something useful too.
The article highlights 5 things that you can do with the website. Obviously most of them have to do with writing, but one option I found I thought I could really have some fun with. This was a Trading Card creator. There are so many things that I can do as a social studies teacher with this program. Now is the perfect time of year for me to check it out and have my students create some trading cards.
Anyway, hopefully there is something there that you can find useful. On a separate note, I came across the website Toondoo this morning while searching for a way for my students to create political cartoons. I recommend checking it out too. It is not quite as user friendly as something like GoAnimate but it will get the job done and students don't have to be artists to create their own cartoons.
Dave, Free Technology 4 Teachers is an excellent website - so many free resources for teachers to use in the classroom. The Trading Card creator could have so many different uses for the classroom. I will also have to check out Toondoo. Thank you for sharing some great resources in this article and from the one on websites for a 1:1 classroom.
ReplyDeleteDave - I just checked out the Trading Card creator. Great option for the classroom. Thanks for sharing this! I think the best part is that it can be used with different grade levels in nearly any subject. Students can have fun with it while using technology to support learning.
