Afraid of Blogging? Tackk Makes it Easy!

Earlier this week, we talked about the 3 Keys to Global Instructional Design. Among the keys was blogging for teachers and students. I failed to include what is perhaps the best tool for beginners who are skeptical about using platforms with complicated user interfaces. If you want to create a simple, easy-as-pie web space, then Tackk is the answer to your prayers. Here are some examples:

Angie Bush uses Tackk as an online parent information blog/newsletter. Each week, she creates a post and shares it with the Madison City Schools First Class Pre-K Center parents.

Rafranz Davis uses Tackk to spread the word on the awesome trends she picks up as she journeys to major conferences.

Kristi Combs, Instructional Partner at James Clemens High School in Madison, Alabama recently posted a Tackk on news and celebrations going on in her school.

I am encouraging you to consider Tackk for blogging. I am saying very emphatically, that blogging is an important skill for students today. Beyond clicking the publish button, they need to know how to share their creations, get meaningful feedback from their peers and experts, and get better at it each time. The key concept is STUDENT CREATIVITY.

Come again!
