I chose to use Caroline's idea to use linoit.com as a student response after reading nonfiction. My students read a scholastic reader about the wind then met with their groups to discuss the facts in the article. After that we pulled out our devices and scanned a QR code to take us to linoit.com. There, the students typed on the stickies the facts they read in their articles. We then discussed the stickies and categorized them based on their topic. We then looked at it as a whole to figure our the main idea.
After discussing with Caroline I found some helpful hints to get me started, especially for the young'uns.
I started by introducing them to lino. They worked in groups to scan a QR to get to lino. They then pulled a sticky and typed their names. For students with devices from home, their friends spelled their name and they typed. This helped them get used to collaborating with the device even though everyone couldn't touch it.
The next day we got back in our groups, scanned a QR and went to a different lino. Students worked together to say a sentence with the word where. They then typed that sentence on a sticky. For students with dictation enabled they were able to say their sentence and didn't need to type. We also found the suggested text to be helpful to build sentences. Students quickly figured out how to select the suggested text and if they didn't see the word they wanted, they started to type that word and it would show up.
I was really worried about having kindergartners type... BUT... it was not scary! The auto-correct was a BIG help!
I'm providing links to the linos we made so you can see all the hard work!!
