Demonstration Student created content is published and shared, extending the learning beyond classroom.

As students realize that their efforts will be published, they are typically more motivated to produce better writing. While working in small groups, students create artifacts like mind maps, narrated slideshows, multimedia lessons etc., which are presented to the class and later are organized in and digital portfolios are published on my blog. At the same time, students use Facebook to communicate with each other, and Google Drive for their collaborative learning activities.

Communication, Collaboration and Creation I communicate with my students by email or by posting on my classroom’s blog.

As a consequence, this sparks a conversation that involves most students and stimulates brainstorming.

Warm ups I usually start a lesson by showing students a video that I have previously embedded in my blog.

Lesson and Curriculum Planning I publish all my digital lessons on my blog, so that students can download the material on their devices.

At the same time, students can electronically drop-off their homework. It is a really effective tool which I use to post and share lessons with my students, to send them large attachments, to create online-shared folders, and to store homework assignments, handouts and articles. In addition, it allows me to avoid the enormous paper stack that used to pile on my desk. It is completely free and it works with any operating system or electronic device.

Organization of notes with Dropbox Dropbox is an amazing tool for teachers.

I also use my blog to showcase student work, by posting photos and videos of students, so that parents get an idea of how their children are studying with me. This is where I post educational resources such as multimedia, online quizzes, assignments, and directions for completing educational tasks.

It is mainly an information portal that I use to provide content (flipped classroom style).

Classroom Management My blog is an online hub.
