As the school year comes to an end I wanted to share an awesome classroom resource that has a Nordonia Hills connection! Our very own Alum from the Nordonia High School Class of 1999, Kyle Stalzer is the CEO of a trending, innovative online website-called Tackk. This is a Cleveland-based company, with a sector also located in San Francisco (where Kyle is currently residing).
Tackk.com is an online creation tool for people to create and share information with others-and interact with that information in a visually-rich format. Tackk is an easy-to-use platform for publishing content of all types (think newsletters, flyers, blogs, how-to guides, and parent announcements).
According to the tackk.com website:
Tackk is a place to connect with friends, share creativity and have conversations. By combining creative moments and social content, we make it easy for users to create and chat about what matters most to them. It’s a fun way to express creativity wherever you are.
I was able to meet with Andria from Tackk last week at the high school and she shared with me some great information about using Tackk in the classroom from a student perspective as well as a teacher-creation tool. Students can create Tackks on virtually any topic and can add their own creative elements to it as well. It can be as simple or complex as they want to make it! Teachers can sign up for a free Tackk account at: www.tackk.com/ and try it out to see how they can utilize it in their classroom! I really liked the fact that Tackk allows programs such as ThingLink, Edmodo, and Youtube to easily be embedded and added to a Tackk in one easy click!
If you are interested in trying this with students, please check out this link to find out how they can submit to you by using the Tagging feature and tagging your name to the Tackk (like a Twitter hashtag).
