You would use them to deal with a possible future issue of managing your students' digital work.
1) Free: They allow an unlimited number of teachers and students to create accounts and use their system at no cost.
2) Interface: A Facebook-like interface that is clean, appealing to students and fairly easy to use.
3) No Email Required: Do not require an email account and they both have a simple student-self-sign-up-system. 4) They include assessment building tools, discussion platforms, assignment creators, scheduling tools and announcement boards, badges for good work etc.

Step 3: Start a YouTube channel for your class

Why use a YouTube channel?
1) Compile and collect video resources (save to your favourites) for your own personal professional use, or for classroom or student use.

Step 5: Get on to Twitter and start creating a PLN (Personal Learning Network)
![Page 19: Getting started with a digital classroom](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5554b4afb4c90559398b46a3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• I learn so much from my PLN – people I follow on Twitter
• Start a classroom Twitter account• Cathy Cassidy teaches her children to read
#kinderchat• Learned some amazing things via Twitter i.e.
Anthony Peters and other Twitter stories. • Join in Twitter chats

Step 6: Start collecting resources with a curating application like Pinterest or Symbaloo
![Page 23: Getting started with a digital classroom](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5554b4afb4c90559398b46a3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• I love these three curating sites plus many more. Teachers love Pinterest. Sets out the boards so attractively (Warning – you can spend hours here.)
• Symbaloo is great for collecting weblinks neatly
• Scoop.it is also something I love to use – only five free ones allowed.

• The whole world opened to me when I started a classroom blog
• Other teachers would comment and soon you would develop new friends.
• Collaborative story writing, Flat Stanley project etc. Often when I go overseas I meet up with a teacher who is a blogging friend.
• Class can email posts to your blog.
