New Tools:
So What?
- How much do we utilise the blog comments of peers in their own class for feedback etc?
- Nudge tasks and expectations. We need to give students opportunities to create media for sharing.
- Moving from Slides to Screencastify.
- Getting students to use their voice to explain their thinking in their own words.
- Students nudging up their poetry posts... how can they include audio?
- Reading aloud and using their own voice etc -
- ScreenCastify, highlighting the poetic devices.
