I would like to create E-portfolios for my 9th and 10th grade intensive reading students. I believe it will be a good learning tool. They will be able to see where they started with their writing and where they developed to by the end of the year. Writing is such an important aspect of being a good reader.
I could also create on-line reading passages for my students to read and react to. Another thing I would like to do is post tasks on a classroom blog to carry out project-based learning tasks with my students. I think this would be very convenient and save my students from having to ask for the assignment paper over and over again.
Lastly, I would like to create a classroom newsletter. I could do this on the classroom blog as well. Now, I just need to get the principle's permission to have a class blog.

Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI really like your E-portfolio idea. The kids will be able to track and monitor their own progress and it will be a lot easier than keeping a hard copy portfolio.
I have also been pondering what you brought up regarding on-line reading passages. I have been thinking along the lines of implementing something like that for my at-risk reading classes. I think I might mess around with podcasts and see what those have to offer in regards to students hearing a model of fluency, pacing, tone, and emotion added effectively to reading.
I will keep posted to see what other ideas I can glean from you!
Good luck!
