And one of the reasons, I haven't had my students do a video themselves is because I find it very difficult. But, these videos serve for us teachers AND for students alike.

It will save a lot of time next year and the students can create them as they actually do the work. It can then be used as a reference whenever a student has a question. The students will learn to be more independent and take charge of their learning. atrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461678761817765228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020271021735918092.post-67115491595486783902012-10-12T18:25:36.084-07:002012-10-12T18:25:36.084-07:00I like the idea of using the wiki as a storage spo...I like the idea of using the wiki as a storage spot. Are the projects individually or in groups? I think it would work even better for collaborative work. Having a place for the students to keep their work is very important. I also have 7th and 8th graders, and there are always papers missing. Another thought that comes to mind, is that you could check and edit their work online. Your corrections and suggestions will be there for the students to refer to whenever they need to. They can also have a section with the rubrics. They can check themselves what they have done, what they still need to do and where they could improve. That helps the students become more independent in their learning. <br />And it also serves as a portal for the parents to check their childrens' work. If it is all online in the wiki, with the comments of the teacher, the parents know exactly why their child received the grade they did. At my school, for very low grades we need to make copies of the assignment and keep them in case a parent comes. Using the wiki the way you described it would make that obsolete and save some trees in the process.atrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461678761817765228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020271021735918092.post-7454900582332547192012-09-25T00:35:30.794-07:002012-09-25T00:35:30.794-07:00Sounds very useful tools.

Currently I have them use storybird.com to make digital stories, but Picture Book maker can be a great alternative. Thanks for sharing.

I think it is extremely important for students to learn about current events. I would propose to the students that they use international news websites, not just American ones. That way, they can explore how a story and the point of view changes, when the article was not publish by an American news outlet. For example, the stories covered by Spiegel (even for their English version) are quite different from cnn. Even if they read coverage of the same event by different news outlets, I am sure their reactions to each one would differ. Another good question to ask is, how would someone from a different country react to the same news? Using current events in your teaching opens up new horizons, and using a blog is a great facilitator.atrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461678761817765228noreply@blogger.com
