In the Classroom
Although International Dot Day is officially in September, use ideas from the site to inspire creativity and collaboration year-round. Read The Dot to students and encourage them to brainstorm and collaborate on ways they can make their mark in the world. Celebrate by joining the annual virtual event, which features a live stream with the author and his twin brother. Challenge older students to explore their place in the world through the use of a blog. If you are beginning the process of integrating technology, have students create blogs sharing their learning and understanding using Penzu, reviewed here, with Penzu you can add images or your own artwork as illustrations. Or, use Webnode, reviewed here. Take this a step further by joining the Connect with Other Classrooms and sharing your Dot Day activities with your global friends. Follow International Dot Day on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) to stay up to date with the latest updates from around the world.
