Updates from Adam's Unconventional Book Tour! First, though, let me share that in this picture, my wife, Muna is with Aaron, our younger son, when he was about three, I guess. What a great pic, right? Ok, so over the last month, January '21, I started a new, robust networking plan to try and reach out to new people, every day, over social media, because I need to tell the world about my new book. I also started dm'-ing some celebrities, but didn't have any luck with that, so I realized that I can still make progress in building a bigger network by reaching out to amazing people who have at least 500 followers on ig.

Hi Adam! I'm also new to PLN. I saw your post in there and decided to check out your blog. I'm glad to see you are getting some experience with Wordle. I love that site! One of my favorites.

ReplyDeleteAnother cool site I like using with my students is: PicLits (http://www.piclits.com). It really helps them with their writing. The students select a picture and can either use the words that are on the page to drag onto the picture creating a mood or a story, or they can write their own message on the picture.
