A couple of weeks ago, I shared a Linoit board my students created. In the post, I promised to show you my second attempt at Linoit. The students are not done posting on it, but I wanted to go ahead and share it.
The students watched a short you tube video about the Sugihara story. I was able to embed the video right onto the Linoit board for easy, quick access during class. The cool thing about the video is that it was a documentary about our reading story, Passage to Freedom. The coolest thing about watching the video was observing the students' faces and reactions when they saw the real people on the video. They frantically flipped in their reading book to find the illustrations of the people in the text. They were amazed that they were seeing the illustrated people from their book in real life! So cool!
After we watched and discussed the video, I explained the directions to the students and modeled a response. Then, as students rotated through their centers, they created their sticky note. What I love about Linoit is that students can read each other's responses. It reminds me of the gallery walks that we as teachers do after we have all commented about a prompt on chart paper at professional development workshops......except it's cooler. So far, the students have given interesting responses. I can't wait to see what everyone else says.
