I have a classroom blog that students have been posting on about their assigned summer reading. I posted a link to my wall there, and left simple instructions on how to post to it. Since I'm not sure how often kids are checking the blog during the summer, and if anyone is going to be brave enough to post there, I'm not sure if it'll take off during the summer. But if it's up there, at least it'll be a reminder once school starts to teach the students how to use it!

Using Padlet to Recommend Books
One of my goals for the upcoming school year is to use more technology. I've seen the website Padlet mentioned a lot in conferences I went to and blogs I've read, but wasn't sure how to use it in my classroom since we're not 1:1 and most of the time, I only have access to iPads for 5 kids. Inspired by Katie Muhtaris and Kristin Ziemke , I decided to make a wall to allow students to make recommendations to each other. Katie suggested posting links to the wall blogs and book trailers that the kids have made, too. I don't have any of those yet, but I'd love to have a place where all of those are collected for students to reference when they need book ideas!
