If you were unable to attend the Tech Tool Tuesday on the 21st, here is a quick overview of the tool Blendspace.
Essentially, Blendspace is a place to curate all the items you need for teaching about a particular unit. You can include pictures, video, quizzes, documents, web links, PDF's and so much more. What makes this a wonderful tool is that little effort is needed adding content as it's very user friendly. Another great aspect is that when students are completing their work, everything they need is in one place; there is no flipping between websites.
As you can see in this screen shot below, the user can add content to each block by simply clicking in the box or dragging and dropping content. On the far right side you can see all the platforms compatible with Blendspace allowing you to bring in content.
When you are ready to share your content, just hit the share button and there you will find a link or embed codes for various social media sites. You can even change the privacy settings so only people with the link can view your content. If you and a fellow teammate are using the same board, you can add your teammate as a collaborate so two or more people can add content.
If you need help using Blendspace please let me know as I am happy to help! If you do end up using this site, please send me how you used it!
Happy curating!
