A writing prompt to start the year
This is an excellent blog to look at for an activity to start the year. The teacher describes an icebreaker activity to get to know each other and then uses all the words that they created about themselves and made their words into a Wordle. I thought this was an excellent way to get students interested in using technology in the beginning of the year other than writing a paper as well as a great way to get to know each other. Doing something so simple can help the teacher see where the student stands as far as vocabulary as well as demonstrate to students that technology can be fun to use.
This sounds like a very creative activity.
