Fanschool is a safe and social learning network. It’s where students build learning blogs by engaging in reading and writing. It’s how teachers help students create portfolios by simply publishing and playing. Families are able to participate in the learning as well if the blogs are made public to share.
Moderation tools
Safely publish student work. Teachers can create games, challenges, and give feedback within a community of authors. Articles can be public, and teachers can moderate all activity.
Authentic audience
Empower students to publish for a real audience. COnnectw ith other teachers, students, and organizations down the hallway, across your district, or around the world.
Individual profiles
Document learning. Student profiles become portfolios that demonstrate growth year-over-year. Students feature their best work and see who they're becoming.

As your students work through your activity, collect the artifacts of their work. Remember, you will want to include:

Gathering links and screenshots of students' work
You will need to share these artifacts in the next assignment (Classroom Implementation Discussion).
