Facebook Recap 1

It seems that facebook is making some changes and as a result, if you interact with a page (like posts, comment, repost etc.), the page will drop off your news feed never to be heard of again. So, just in case that has happened to my posts and you haven't been seeing the freebies, teaching tips, links and other good stuff, I have decided to do a recap every week or so of some of the highlights of my facebook posts.

You can learn more about this change and how to keep seeing the pages you want to see from this video by Charity Preston.

If you are looking for a fun and original way to assess your students, this article from The Organized Classroom Blog is exactly what you need - great ideas applicable to nearly every grade!

When people think of assessment, pencils and bubble sheets may be the first things that come to mind. Assessment does not always have to involve paper and pencil, but can instead be a project, an observation, or a task that shows a student has learned the material.  

If you want to be sure and stay in the loop when these things are posted, be sure to interact! Not just for my page, but for every page you want to keep seeing on your news feed.


Also, I would love to know, is this facebook recap helpful? Please comment and let me know.
