How to Leverage Social Media for Learning
If you have been vising our blog lately you'll know we have been trying something new. We tried to get feedback on our writing from people around the world, not just the school. As the teacher, I am glad to say this process worked very well. All we had to do was explain how to leave feedback, and Tweet it out that we were looking for guest editors. We didn't just receive comments from other students and teachers from down the hall, but we got editing tips from as far away as New Zealand (Thanks Mr. Webb!). This peeked student engagement. All of a sudden students didn't see bumping up their writing as an arduous task. Instead, they started viewing as something they needed to do as an author.

Mr. Di Donato's class, Wow look at your growth over such a short period of time. If you continue to read, write, and edit your writing will certainly improve over the course of the year!
ReplyDeleteThe transformation is amazing! I am so proud of what your students have accomplished in such a short period of time! Imagine what their writing is going to be like by the end of the year! Keep using feedback to bump up your work, Grade 8s!! You are superstars!!
