Ann Wright commented on Angela Cunningham's group APUSH Educators
"Hi Melissa.  Thanks.  I have questions on my wikki but I have not had them turn them in.  My thinking has been that the kids who are doing them are doing well on the test.  However, do you collect your questions?  Digitally…"

Ann Wright commented on Angela Cunningham's group APUSH Educators
"How do you address the question of reading notes?  Do you require them?  Does anyone do a digital option?  Do all students need to do them?"

Carlos Fernandez replied to Ann Wright's discussion Web 2.0 Tools in the group AP Educators
"I love Edmodo. I think Edmodo with a mix of Livebinders will work perfectly in an AP class setting. I would use Edmodo as my course and Livebinders as my AP Test review guide.   Here is a link to my blog where not to long ago I posted some…"

Ann Wright replied to Angela Cunningham's discussion History Movie Theatre
"Good for Prosperity and Depression is the Great Debaters.  I think it raises the issue of how much further the farmers could have gotten if they had been able to cross the color divide."

Ann Wright replied to Angela Cunningham's discussion Student Trip to Washington, DC
"I have been in Washington a few times, and I kept thinking as I was dragged around with Smithsonian Travel that I could do this better.  I'd definitely be interested in doing something."

Ann Wright replied to Angela Cunningham's discussion Student Trip to Washington, DC
"Angela, I would be interested.  I took a group to Washington last year with Smithsonian Travel and wished for something less tourist and more scholarly."

Ann Wright replied to Jennifer Dunnaway's discussion Classroom Website? New Websites?
"I just discovered weebly.com for a vrey easy to use website that includes a blog.  It's free but there is a pro version with a few more features including embedding documents.  It seems much easier that sites on the google app side."

Ann Wright replied to Ann Wright's discussion DBQs and Google Docs in the group APUSH Educators
"That was my plan as well.  We usually do the first DBQ (Cheapeake-New England) together and then they have a better idea of what is expected."

MsTeacher28 replied to Ann Wright's discussion DBQs and Google Docs in the group APUSH Educators
"I have them grade each others sometimes too.  Not sure if you would want to do this or not, but I had them submit their DBQs on GDocs and then they could comment right on the DBQ.  Again, I did this after we had done a few together, and…"

"Thanks!  Sounds like a great way to begin some collaboration on DBQ."

Ann Wright replied to Ann Wright's discussion DBQs and Google Docs in the group APUSH Educators
"I have done that Jamie.  I have taken the students through some sample DBQ student responses available from the College Board's website so that they kind of understand the difference between various scores.  Then, I've had them…"

Jamie Josephson replied to Ann Wright's discussion DBQs and Google Docs in the group APUSH Educators
"I have been wondering about how to work this out too with almost 78 APUSH students in two classes it's going to be impossible to read that many DBQs..has anyone else ever had students grade each other's DBQs and just review them for…"

Kimberly Johnson replied to Ann Wright's discussion DBQs and Google Docs in the group APUSH Educators
"In the beginning of the year, I sometimes break the class into teams to "compete" on a DBQ to prove how each doc can be used in different ways.  I have students prep the documents in teams for how each doc answers the thesis question…"

MsTeacher28 replied to Ann Wright's discussion DBQs and Google Docs in the group APUSH Educators
"I think collaboration on analyzing the documents would be great.  They could work together to come up with the key ideas/concepts/etc. for each document (maybe a group APPARTS for each doc).  They could also work on coming up with a list…"

"@Jen Edmodo has the potential to be the backchannel, but I like the simplicity of TodaysMeet for the students.  They find it more user-friendly when carrying on virtual discussions. "
