Part one of the assignment was to "fly to someplace" and take a screenshot. So here's mine:
The next part of the assignment was to make a placemark and record a screenshot of that. So, here goes:
I was a little disappointed that I couldn't zoom in so very closely--but it isn't like our library is the Eiffel Tower or anything, so maybe it's the best I could do? Anyway, it's a fun tool! The next part of the assignment asked us to make a set of flashcards for kids and reflect on how we might use them in our classroom. I made a small set of long and short A words for one of my reading groups. This saved me a lot of time and created a professional looking product. I am on my school's Instructional Consulation Team, and one of the strategies we routinely use with kids who struggle in reading is by the use of "pocket words"--three to four words the child keeps in their pocket to review several times during the day. This would work GREAT for that! We also use the same technique with math facts and I can see the same thing being used for vowel sounds, spelling patterns, etc. I loved the ability to play games on the Quizlet site also. I will get a lot of usage out of this "thing" for sure!
Here's a screenshot of a couple of my cards:
Loved this "Thing"!
