A Great Use for Your Browser’s “Top Sites” Screen
October 24, 2012 | 2 Comments
Our 1st Grade classroom teachers are maintaining individual Blogger blogs for each of their students this year, having carefully set up each blog with appropriate privacy settings to turn the blog into a private portfolio for parents. One potential downside for the teacher, however, is the labor involved with maintaining 20 individual blogs! One of our first-year support teachers came up with the (brilliant) idea of using his browser’s “Top Sites” screen to create a visual shortcut to each kid’s blog. The results are below — voila — an easy way to get in and out of each student’s blog quickly and efficiently!

Great idea! That is why we need to collaborate. In today’s world we definitely need more than one brain!!
Definitely, Janice — reminds me of David Weinberger’s book Too Big To Know and his claim that “the smartest person in the room is…the room”
