Tech Tuesday
October 10, 2017
Hello! I am Michelle Malloy and I will be supporting you and your students for the upcoming 2017/2018 school year with ipads, chromebooks and various pieces of technology. I look forward to a wonderful year with lots of technology projects that "wow".
On the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, I will send you a Tech Tuesday newsletter with small bits of technology information. I hope you find something you can use.
You will be able to find any information I share with you on my web page!
My office is located in the main hall of the 5th grade building.
Please email me with any apps that you would like to be considered or if you need suggestions on ways to use various apps for projects!

Ways to use "booksnaps"
A few (of MANY) reasons to create #BookSnaps
• To annotate and share excerpts of the book you’re reading
• It allows the reader to connect an idea or thought by creating a digital visual representation. The visual representation solidifies the text content within the mind and signals the brain to retrieve the idea from memory.
• Diagram the rise, fall, and climax of the plot (see an example image below)
• Highlight figurative language and imagery
• Notate character conflict and internal struggles (see example below)
• To personally connect to the text; this is my favorite!
• Point out the main idea or a supporting argument
• It’s EASY! Just read, snap, reflect, add stickers, share, and repeat.
Ok, are you ready?
