- Choose a tool that could be used in the classroom.
2. Describe the tool.
This tool is used for creating you own personalized newspaper. It lets you talk about what is happening in your world and about the topics that are interesting to you. This tool also lets you read news articles, blogs, editorials, and watch videos about your interest anytime that you want.
3. What content area would you use the tool?
I would use this tool for the content area of writing and english.
4. Briefly describe a lesson in which you would implement the tool.
I would have the class produce their own newpaper. First I would have each student find something that is interesting to them to write about. Then I would have them been gathering information from other sources such as articles, interviews, etc on the subject that they choose to write about. Then have them organize and edit the information that they gathered and begin writing their article for the newspaper. After all the students have completed their articles you can use the MeeHive tool to produce the students newpaper.
5. What do you need to consider before using the tool in a classroom?
Before using this tool you would need to consider what topics you think would be and would not be approiate for the students to write about. Also need to consider the age group for which the tool is being used and you need to make sure that you have access to computers for the students to put the newspaper together.
