Uses: Collect Feedback, Write Together, Respond and Reflect
Description: CorkBoard is another virtual posting site. It is limited compared with LinoIt, so it might be perfect for those teachers who are afraid of losing students to bells and whistles.
Applications for the Reading/Language Arts Classroom:
- Exit tickets: all students respond to an open ended question.
- Running questions about a difficult text piece.
- Students can collect colorful figurative language and "cool sentences" from their reading. Some of these can later be submitted to Notable Sentences... for Imitation and Creation (see my write-up here).
- Add a "What's New and Notable" bulletin board to your teacher's page. Include assignment updates, links to current events, etc. See mine at the bottom of my main site.
- Share files and videos which are related to classroom discussion topics.
- Get instant student responses to poems, song lyrics, facts, quotations.
- Allow students to record thoughts and questions as they watch a video or read a chapter.
