This is great, Ruth. I enjoyed the two parts that told about the same thing, showing students that multiple kinds of sources can enhance the learning of the topic. Can I make one suggestion? When creating the links, click in the box that says open in a separate tab, then students will be able to click back & forth if they cannot remember all directions. And, when you talk about the rectangles, are they on a worksheet that you give the students? Thanks for the voki site; I'll pass that on & maybe use it in my next newsletter to "talk" to the teachers-won't they be surprised!! Terrific stuff!
ReplyDeleteI use blogger and it only allows me to open in a new page. I went back and looked. Do you know how I can get it to open in a new tab?
ReplyDeleteI wanted the students to take a plain sheet of paper and fold it in fourths. Then they will write about four separate documents/artifacts. By having 4 different primary sources about the same topic it allows the students to go deeper and to develop more background information.
Kids love the voki - especially for repetitive directions. They will sit transfixed listening to a talking cat.
Ruth, I am sorry, I thought it said, open in a new tab, but it is page, as you know. That's okay too, but when I clicked on your links, I changed pages instead of getting a new page. That's all. On another tack, I have a person who wrote me who said she keeps not getting linked up. If I forward her e-mail will you see if she did sign up? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes send me an email and I will check.
