Learning is contagious:
If we learn, they learn with us!
Presentation Synopsis
Web 2.0 brings a whole new dimension to the old adage, "show, don't tell", and lets you step back and give students the opportunity to create and share their self-created productions anytime, anywhere, with a wide audience. This hands-on workshop will give you the opportunity to create engaging content to tempt the most discerning students.
Create your Online Dynamic Flyer
"Smore is a service for quickly creating great-looking webpages. Smore markets itself as a service for creating online flyers, but it's a little bit more than that. To me "flyer" implies that you're creating a single-use PDF and posting it online. Smore's flyers are dynamic and changeable, they're not single-use PDFs" (Richard Byrne).
The Future Teachers Learning Together blog has an informative post with lots of helpful Smore information.
Butler Online is using a Smore Welcome Letter to email information to all online students (rather than text only).
