New Year's Classroom Activities

It's never too early to start thinking about classroom activities after the Christmas Break. I try to focus on activities that will allow the student to come up with their own authentic conclusions or ideas. Allow students opportunities to share their work with others. I love Padlet.com because students can upload their work so the teacher can display all their creations. I also love to have students share a link to their work on Edmodo. This opens up an opportunity for them to comment on each other's creations. A discussion about etiquette when commenting is a must so students understand the proper way to offer constructive criticism and feedback.
