Review the widget you selected. Are you getting comfortable with embedding code? How can widgets enhance your instructional practices?

This was so much FUN! I am feeling more and more confident embedding code. Adding widgets to blogs makes working with them attractive, interactive and exciting. I can really see my students getting hooked very quickly. Choosing purposeful, content appropriate, educational widgets will really enhance our students' learning. Widgets such as these PBS teacher "Activity Packets" can cover a broad range within at topic such as this one under the topic of Earth Day. Each packet offers a choice of material which may interest different students in the same class or grade level, or teachers who work with students at multiple grade levels. They may choose to use a different packet for each grade they work with. I can see lots of exciting possibilities!
