How can your students use #BookSnaps or other snaps to share their learning?
Thanks for writing this post, Erin! For years I have been saying that it's imperative that we meet our students where they are and engaging activities like Book Snaps is a great way to do that! As a matter of fact, my 5 year old and I have been having fun with Book Snaps of our own lately.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! That is one of my favorite things about how Tara got started, was joining students instead of fighting them. Use what they love and integrate it.
DeleteI think this is a new area to expand both students and teacher into to share our learning!
ReplyDeleteThank you also for a blog post which leads to a blog post which leads to a blog post - I love that kind of adventure!
So, I think you and Tara have converted me. I may be downloading SnapChat! :)
Go for it! : ) We have used BookSnaps for PD, too. It is a fun addition to a book study. I downloaded SnapChat but have yet to figure it out (plus I'm elementary and it is 13+) but we use Seesaw or PicCollageKids for our BookSnaps. FUN!
