How can you transform those boring paragraph format blogs? Add a voki or an interactive quiz! Use the many free Web 2.0 options out there. Let's talk quizzes.
I recently had my 3rd and 4th grade Gifted and Talented students complete a research project on a topic of their choice. While I was interested in their research, my primary goal was to teach them how to use some great web 2.0 tools so that we can start blogging our way through the school year.
Blogging is a great way for students to highlight their work and it allows parent interaction and it is easy to do collaborations and more. I loved this project. The students spent more time on vokis, learning the blog dashboard, categorizing posts and importing graphic and videos than actually researching their topic. Overall, it was a great success and I am looking forward to the next project where content is king.
