While meandering from student to student during a work time,
I noticed a student getting onto a website that hadn't been mentioned as an "approved" site for the analogy project.
I stood back just to watch,
Thinking I would catch someone in the act of misusing the internet.
I saw the words Lucid Chart pop up.
Hmmmm????
He could actually be on task!
As I continued to watch, the more intrigued I became.
This was an awesome site!
Templates for Venn Diagrams and flow charts.
Other perks...
1. You can print from the website.
2. Students can email you the link to their diagram for paperless grading.
3. It's free...although there are nicer versions that do cost money. But I'm all about the free stuff!
Very cool!
Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
