I've created a digital class book (with Google Sites) where students post their creative works. What is cool is that it is now an archive for students and their work, past and present. Super inspirational. Also, accessible to the world via my teacher website. ]]> 2019-03-15 16:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828137 https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828185 Studen]]> 2019-03-15 16:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828185 https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828200 Students create writing for authentic audiences by creating iBooks, recording their writing and sharing through Flipgrid, and community presentations.]]> 2019-03-15 16:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828200 https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828208 2019-03-15 16:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828208 https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828211 2019-03-15 16:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828211 https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828235 2019-03-15 16:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828235 elizabeth_salis https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828342 2019-03-15 16:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828342 https://padlet.com/jstrasser1/q5mvfcux8s9e/wish/341828455 I have my students put their writing in a Google Drive Folder and share the link with me.

It's another way to let the students know that we care.

Students pour over thebcollege website, find out the exciting things happening and find key faculty who work in their field. Students write a business letter letting the faculty know about their passion, their research and request a simple business card or flyer to post on the classroom wall. Many students receive replies (many getting swag than just a card). Those who do not receive a reply, redirect another letter to a different faculty, department or new college.   : ).
