RESOURCES

QUICK IDEAS:

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY - Research any topic for a writing assignment. Create an annotated bibliography of online resources.

THINGLINK - A visual collection of links on an image. Students could collect the links to resources, briefly describe them, and link them to a meaningful image for future reference.

PADLET - Similar to Thinglink, students can collect any image, URL, or online resource, briefly annotate, and collect in a tile format.

PREZI or SLIDE - Have students simply create a collection of resources, with perhaps a slide for each annotation.

THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER:

Students could create resources that would benefit in their future class sessions in your room.

Students could search the web for ideas for an upcoming project and "pitch" their topic to you, with their potential resources in hand.

Students could create a list of "self-help" or "online tips" resources for OTHER students to reference when they need help.
