Summary: This podcast features an interview with 3rd and 4th grade teacher Shelly Fryer on January 29, 2016, in Oklahoma City. Shelly teaches in a 1:1 iPad classroom at Positive Tomorrows, a special school for homeless children which also serves their families in multiple ways. Shelly has been using blogging websites with her students for three years, to teach students about digital citizenship through interactive writing. The day of this interview was her current students' first day to experience blogging on an updated KidBlog website, however, and Shelly not only focused on writing with students but also on images and the digital citizenship conversations which relate to these activities online. Shelly's students have been doing a lot of "inside sharing" using the SeeSaw iPad app and website this year, and while she has shared some of the students' posts with a wider audience using Twitter, this was the first focused day of learning when students discussed and prepared for "outside sharing." Check out the podcast shownotes for links to referenced apps and websites in this interview, along with links to others we gave shout-outs to. Interactive writing can be so powerful, as well as constructively exciting for student learning inside and outside the classroom!
