Todd's Tuesday Tech Tip #21: How to use Read, Write Think!

Hello Colleagues,

Happy Tuesday!

This week's tip is not a new resource, but its one that I had forgotten how useful it is.  I found this week's tip on Tammy Worcester's blog. She has tons of amazing teacher tips.

Read Write Think is a site that includes tons of great resources, but the best, in my opinion are the student interactives.

Here is a simple video that explains how to use Read Write Think:

Video of how to use Read Write Think

1.  Go to Read Write Think.org

2.  Pull down the classroom resources tab to student interactives.



3.  Click the links at the left side to filter the results by grade level, type, learning objective, or theme.





4.  Or use the window in the upper left to search by keyword.



5.  Choose the desired tool and then click the get started button.



6.  Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the activity.



7.  Use the provided buttons to print your final product.



8.  We've used this site in the past to introduce students to various poetry genres in the Resource Center.  There now is a way to save student work to complete at a later time.  This is quite handy if you are short on time.

That's it for today's tip.  How have you used Read Write Think?  Please leave a comment on the website for others to see and learn.

Thanks,
Todd
