How I Use It

At the beginning of each school day we have a D.E.A.R. session....Drop Everything And Read. Everyone in the building is supposed to read. Not everyone brings a book so tween tribune is ideal. The students enjoy being able to participate and being able to keep up with the latest news.

My Take

I appreciate having something age appropriate for my students to use during our D.E.A.R. sessions. I actually had my students evaluate the site and the feedback was positive. They appreciated the variety of articles. Later in the school year I may pick one article for the whole class to read and start a threaded discussion on My Big Campus so students can share their thoughts. This would expose them to others perception of the same article.
