We dove back into discussing our independent reading "experiment" as students are calling it! Today we had laptops, and Mr. Juskiewicz was able to guide our navigation through Kidblog. This is the blog (check links in Edline) where students will be writing at least three sentences each week. They will be writing about what they've learned from their independent reading, where they've learned it (what websites or what books/articles), and what they'd like to learn next (generally speaking!). Mr. J. also showed us how to do a more specific search on Google. Mr. Hillmer also came in today and showed us how to navigate EBSCO from the LMC web page. The rest of the time was spent exploring more options for learning, and one-on-one conferences, where I, Mr. Hillmer, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Goldstein, or Mrs. Bingaman could guide students' next step in the process of independent reading.
