Global Read Aloud Project: Oct. 3 - Nov. 11
The Global Read Aloud (GRA) Project is a great way to share a read aloud with students then connect and share with others who are reading the same book around the world. There are many ways to connect! You can simply Tweet using the #GRA16 hashtag or hashtag for a specific book, schedule a Skype or Google Hangout session (or several throughout the reading of a book) with another class. There are endless ways to connect, communicate, collaborate, and think critically about books with the GRA Project. You can connect with others once or several times throughout GRA, it is up to you.
I am happy to help brainstorm ideas, help organize/plan, seek out classroom connections, etc. If you are interested in participating, please email me to let me know. Click here for a Reading List & suggested reading schedule.
Zoom in Google Docs
Did you know you can zoom in on a Google Doc without zooming in on the entire page? This zoom feature only zooms in on the doc making the text and objects within the page appear larger, other tools on the page remain the same size. This feature often comes in handy when viewing on a smaller screen or a doc with smaller font
