Snapchat into classroom
Integrating Snapchat into classroom activities offers a unique way to engage students by leveraging a platform they are already familiar with. Here are some innovative ideas from various sources on how to use Snapchat for educational projects:
- Journalism Projects: Encourage students to become journalists for a day, documenting events, conducting interviews, or annotating images to cover different topics.
- BookSnaps: A creative method for students to annotate their readings. They take pictures of book pages, annotate them with reactions, and submit this enhanced annotation.
- Book Talks: Students can use Snapchat’s video feature to discuss books based on given criteria. Such as favorite parts or characters, and compile these into a class-wide project.
- Writing Stories: A similar approach to book talks, but for different subjects. Students could explain a concept or demonstrate a skill through short videos.
