I recently discovered this amazing App called Storybird. It allows students to challenge themselves with different writing prompts or create stories with their own imagination. There are a plethora of tools to use to help strengthen a particular reading/writing skill. #READ6252
Padlet allows students even in lower elem. to post their writing/photos on a wall to share. They can type it in or simply take photos. It allows them to comment/compliment each other’s work. Simply create a QR code and students can join easily. #READ6252

@parkins_ms I remember have a huge list of blogs, before Instagram, that I loved to read and respond to. I forgot all about them until you mentioned it! It creates a very tangible connection where readers don't feel very far from writers and can be heard with their comments. #READ6252
As a high school teacher, I believe I can challenge my students to use social media and the internet in way that pushes them to better writers both in and outside the classroom! #READ6252

@DulinEvers Totally agree, I think it’s all about finding a balance between making students digitally competent and also making sure they can write with traditional pen and paper. The internet provides such a great opportunity to make writing collaborative! #READ6252

“By inviting critique from outside audiences via the internet, writers may recognize the social context of their work, leading them to consider different perspectives on their ideas and think more deeply about how to best approach revision” (Graham) #read6252
"[Digital] reading is individualized and proceeds in nonlinear fashion, based on the intimate interests and characteristics of the reader" (Reinking, 1997). It allows for a personal experience with a community of people with similar interests at their fingertips! #READ6252
#READ6252 "If the purpose of school is to transfer knowledge in ways that allow children to become productive members of society, then shouldn't 21st-century education prepare students to read and write with digital tools whether or not they conform to traditional norms? (Graham)
#READ6252 This is still such a great idea to promote writing interest! Celebrate new books and pieces of writing.
Started free-writes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was first met with "What will we write about?" Only three weeks in and I hear " Is today writing day?" #freewrite #UCPS #READ6252
Today I told my Ss that they'll get to share their writing using the @DoInkTweets green screen app. Engagement went through the roof! Videos will highlight all their research on birds from the past quarter. It's going to be an exciting week in first grade! #Read6252 @cmsingleton1
Writing is more than just putting words to paper. There are images, voices, formats, links, etc. So many things to think about when creating digital text #READ6252
