My last two posts were about allowing students to post their learning online and seeking an interested audience to view and respond to their content. Next I would like to focus on teachers in our district who have invested in providing an online platform for their students and/or procured an audience.
Learning Posted: Sue's students share their writing as well as photo updates about classroom projects and daily learning.
Audience: their blog has been visited 1,292 times and has received 183 comments in response to their posts.
Learning Posted: Amy's students share their thoughts about a read-aloud book.
Audience: combined, her three blogs have been visited 5,628 times and have received 163 comments in response to their posts.
Learning Posted: Kim's students share their experiences in real time while on a class trip to Spain.
Audience: parents and friends back home view posts and leave comments about students' experiences.
These three examples have harnessed the power of giving students an authentic audience - their audience has been actively involved in responding to the learning they have posted.
Many other teachers in our district have created the initial infrastructure of placing student work online. See more examples of online student work that has been shared:
What a great variety of student achievements! If you haven't used your online space to give your students a voice, start today!
Did I miss anyone's online display of student learning? Let me know on the contact form located on the right side of the Shamrock Tech website.
