I am so glad to finally get started with 11 Tools. I wanted to wait until after summer school was out to get started, and so here I am finally! It wasn't that difficult to get my blog started, and I actually had fun making my Avatar. Hopefully later on I can get a little more creative with my layout, etc.
I would love to use Tool #1 in my classroom. My second graders love it when I use Morning Messages; they get excited about reading when it is a personal message with meaning to them. They also enjoy communicating through dialogue journals. I think blogging would be a way to take that to a whole new level while emersing them in technology!
Welcome to this adventure, I sure hope you will find many ways to use the tools with your students :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using this for your morning message! Brills, Marianne!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on finishing your journey with the 11 tools. I'm sure you will find your fit for incorporating the use of the 11 tools. Using tool 1 as you stated within the morning message is a great idea.
