Create a Full Screen Message

By Anonymous -


Graas is a site that allows you to type a message and then copy a link to share that message with others.  Once you have typed your message, you can change the style, font, background and colors.  I'm sure there are many ways to use Graas with students.  


I think it would be neat to have students type a message like this one click here and then email it to their parents.  This would be a fun way to announce an accomplishment.  


Students could also send messages to their classmates or to teachers announcing something special such as this one. 


Can you think of other ways to use Graas with your students?  Please share.

My school has a vocabulary enrichment program called Wonder Words. Each week a classroom is responisble for presenting five words from the list to the whole school via a PA announcement, poster in the cafeteria, or signs around school. We haven't used e-mail to share the words previously, but now I am envisioning a banner with a word, definition and symonyms being sent to each classroom to be shared on the projector. FUN!!!

Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
