#BookSnaps

#BookSnaps

This cool idea was originated by the Ed Technologist Tara M. Martin. Dorothy Gootman and I worked with her fourth graders to create #BookSnaps. The kids used their independent reading books and shared some emotions their books evoked.

In about 45 minutes we were able to:

  1. Explain what #BookSnaps were.
  2. Explain how to choose a passage from their reading books that evoked emotion.
  3. Model the creation of a #BookSnap using a book they were reading together. 
  4. Send the students off with their books and the Seesaw app to create and share their own #BookSnaps.
  5. 45 minutes later everyone had created and shared an awesome #BookSnap.

Here are a few of their creations...
