Description
Give your students authentic audiences for their work. Instead of just submitting projects or essays to their teachers, student work can be published for a global audience. As students demonstrate what they have learned with culminating activities or written reports, you can publish their work for others to see. This encourages students to submit better projects - research, revise, fact check, edit, collaborate. It also allows for addressing a different skill - writing for different audiences. When student work is published on a site that reaches a global audience, students will learn about other states and other countries as they see projects other schools have done. Teachers can publish lessons for a global audience of other educators. Educators can use the site as a resource to find lessons done by other schools, to customize, or use “as is.” The presentation will focus on a specific website you can use or join. Sample projects from the site will be shown, giving ideas you can replicate. The website has been developed by the presenter, a classroom teacher for 33 years. There are no ads, and it’s FREE to join. The site also has a page of free resources for both teachers and students to use. Note: The presenter will do a separate session on how to create a sample project using Google Maps.
