How to keep students engaged during snow/ice days?


During snow/ice storms we can give many activities that can help our students to be engage with the learning process while they are at home because outside is a snow/ice storm. If you don’t have many ideas you can go and use http://www.google.com/, and search for ideas that can be helpful for snow days, but your seach its going to depend on the age of your students or children, like this one http://parenting.ivillage.com/gs/gsactivities/0,,6xvw,00.html. If you are more hands-on, you can create a blog where you are going to post different activities to your students, but you need to be sure that before anything happens (weather related) your students know how to log in and used (that I am sure that will know it before you). Another option that can be an option use the social networks like www.facebook.com and you can send to them the different activities that they need to do during those days of snow, even more your students can keep contact using facebook or any messenger for doing collaborative work. Every activity that’s related with technology it will depend on electric power, so think ahead what can happen I give to your students/parents nice ideas related with the content of the class.
