What is it? Today I wanted to give a little bit different website – it’s actually a blog post! Susan’s post on GettingSmart caught my eye when I saw how she was integrating technology into reading/writing for her classroom.  For anyone who is looking for an alternative way to assess nonfiction comprehension, here is one innovative way. Check out her blog post above and see what her suggestions are and if you have any you’d like to add!

Wanting to try using out infographics yourself? Check out my Toolkit to see how!
