Individually or in pairs, students
complete different questions and take a picture to post in a media album. Once
done, students check answers (math/sci), give feedback (writing/art).
Activate Prior Knowledge:

Post photos, diagrams, maps, and
short video clips for students to view and draw inferences. Students write
inferences, connections, and questions. Example: before reading a novel set in
1930’s Mississippi, post Jim Crow and Depression Era photographs. Ask students
to write what they notice and what inferences they can make. In the caption,
include a link to additional reading for curious students.
Grouping:

Comments Enabled
Giving a selection of topics,
literature circle books, or type of project? Use Media Albums for students to
select the group they prefer. Notify in advance with a specific publishing day
and time to give equity. Post book trailers or images for students to sign up.
Students post their sign up. First 5-6 students get the group.
Anchor Charts

Anchor charts are a wonderful tool
in class, but when home, students may need to reference those same charts. Create
a media album of all anchor charts for future references.
Memes and Comics:

Comments Enabled
Create a catalog of memes and comics having to do with the current
unit. Allow students to post and comment. Example: I loved using memes and
comics to reinforce or reintroduce small grammar rules. I could post a “Stop
clubbing, baby seals” meme and have students comment under it to explain the
grammar concept. Use for extra credit, warm-up, or closure activity.
