Donna F's List: Collaboration

We believe in the art of creating stories and the craft of sharing them. We are inspired by the written word and the authors that link words and phrases together to form tales.\n\nFicly is a place for playing with story-telling; a collaborative environment where anyone can pick up a narrative thread and weave a prequel or sequel.\n\nYou can start a story or jump into someone else's tale. The possibilities are endless, and in some cases, so are the stories.

1st day?\nFrom mldesilva: This year I have made a sticky notes board at http://stixy.com. I have a welcome sticky on the board explaining to students that I would like each of them to drag a sticky to the board and on it to introduce themselves and tell us something about themselves that they would like to share with the class. They can add pictures to their sticky, link a document, change the color, pattern, etc. The goal is to be to get them to use technology in a very easy way to start the year. It is the simplest program, yet it will get the job done. In the end, we will have this great board covered with information about my students. They are able to be creative, share something about themselves, and feel empowered that they created something on their first day. \n\nhttp://web20classroom.blogspot.com/2009/08/summer-series-first-days-must-haves.html
