Engrade/Engage

Many of the ideas I have for teaching English involve online message boards, to promote interaction.  I especially feel this is a great way to teach dramatic literature as the students may take on different character personas while communicating on an online site.  It is a lot easier for people to be in a certain character online, because it is a way to hide your true identity.  This idea only feeds into that, but will promote learning, because students will have a legitimate reason to be able to be someone else online, and learn something about their character in the process.
Schoology actually seems to be a good way to do that or the program used for our online classes.  I am developing many lessons for English, that I hope I will soon get to use.  I thought this was a neat picture, that describes how learning is changing...
