3. First a ning used with 7th
grader studentsfrom the ELA teacher:
It is most commonly used for sharing my flipped
classroom videos as well as a platform for
students to blog and get feedback on their writing.
Right now many kids are posting on the peers'
Defining Moment Personal Narrative blogs and in
the next few weeks we'd like to add a multimedia
piece and start working on digital portfolios.
We, as a teachers, have also tried to use the site
to model effective feedback and the important role
that collaboration plays in the writing process. The
kids very much enjoy that their writing can be
made public and it's built a nice community within
