#1 - Electronic Cluster Walls

Cluster walls are different from word walls.  Cluster walls are words grouped together according to common characteristics.  Cluster walls are used to display content words, vocabulary words and language analysis and can be posted on the wall of a classroom. A cluster wall can be made using WindowsMovie Maker or iMovie.  

I will upload an example using WindowsMovie Maker by the end of the week.

If you have any ideas of how you integrate literacy with technology that you are willing to share please let me know.

Literacy-Technology Activities

This blog will be a compilation of commonly used elementary classroom technology tools integrated with literacy activities. Some of what you will find will be actual paper-pencil literacy activities presented with a technology twist, useful lit-tech websites, and hopefully ideas my followers want to share.

My goal is to compile at least 100 activities or strategies!
