1. Teachers can leverage this power by taking pictures of activities in action or completed and discussing with the children how their work is going to be shared with others. I know in my classroom, when I tell the children that I am going to put their work around the room, they talk less and focus more. I use to post completed small moments for Writer's Workshop on my classroom website and the children enjoyed guessing who wrote what when I shared the website in the classroom.
2. Building a PLC empowers teachers by allowing them to create a place where they are able ask for support or share ideas with others who are in the same boat as them. Instead of just a general search, you have a specific group for a specific need.
I like the idea of taking pictures of students work and sharing it on the website. Students look at an assignment differently when they know it will be published or have an audience.
ReplyDeleteYour students must love to see their work posted! It's nice that you can collaborate with colleagues through a PLC!
