class wiki My reading classes use this wiki to hold an online literature circle discussion. I created this voki explaining a semicolon. The kids are studying the eight parts of speech and this is one option they have in demonstrating their knowledge. I wanted them to see an example to clarify expectations.

 http://photopeach.com/album/ 4kabos Students wrote riddles in my language arts class. They were able to present using photo peach, a power point of some sort, or an old fashioned paper/pencil booklet. Three partnerships chose the latter format. Tech savy kids we have! This is an example of one of the photo peaches created.

 A screen shot of my google reader. How easy this makes finding current event articles. I use these weekly when practicing main idea with my reading classes.

A screen shot of my diigo library account. I find this tool very handy in bookmarking my go-to sites. No matter where I am or what computer I am on, I can easily access my favorite websites. A screen shot of my PLN. At first I really didn't see much value in this, but I have picked up an idea or two along the way from those I follow and it is exciting to me. I feel more like an eavesdropper, though, and just read and click on what people share. I haven't posted too many tweets, but I am getting some ideas and suggestions for my professional reading. A unit I have created with Tena Nelson for fourth quarter language arts. Students will write and then use a web 2.0 tool to publish the final fractured fairy tale.
