Mixbook - love it!

This could be such a fun tool to use. It could be used to review Wordly Wise words by having a picture on the front page and turning the page for a definition. It could be used for a variety of ways in Social Studies. We currently create a family album for our colonial times unit. I don't know if this would be the perfect choice, though, since there weren't really photographs at that time. BUT it would be great to use for Civil War. And I believe there were some rare photographs in the Westward Expansion time period.



I loved that example Sandy showed us from the Revolutionary War project. It was so clever to create a haiku riddle for historical figures from that time period. That could be beautifully translated into any time period. It would also be a great assessment tool. Fun!



Mixbook definitely needs to make an appearance this year. I love the fact that the parents will have the ability to view the book and also the choice to purchase it if they wish.
