The above links are just a few examples of my network participation.  I had written on other blogs and also participated on the discussion board.

Slideshow

The photo slideshow is geared for a 6th grade Language Arts class demonstrating Cause and Effect.  The students are to create their own slideshow finding images to demonstrate cause and effect.

Screencast

Outline Screencast

My screencast was designed to help walk a student through creating an essay outline.  I begin with the prewriting web and draw the information from that into a rough outline. Students would also create their own screencast for their outlines to demonstrate that they understood how the outline was formed.

I really like this learning tool.  I could see myself using it and posting it on my website to help students with their homework, if they were absent and missed class, etc.

Podcast

This is a fun assignment and a great alternative for students to demonstrate their comprehension skills.  I created a podcast as an example for my students.  The podcast is basically a summary of one chapter from The Outsiders.  However, they must write a dialogue using the characters from the chapter and record it as a small group.
