First a ning used with 7th grader students

from 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

the room too.
