Advanced ‘Search’ features added
There are many ways for participants to ‘search’ the Salty Chip:
- You can use the type of file, subject and grade level list in the right hand column to ‘filter’ your ability to look at samples that have been submitted to date. (Remember to go to ‘view all’ when you want to cease filtering the content).
<.i>You can see what is new, popular or trending since your last visit by clicking on the headings across the top of your screen. - If you see materials contributed by a user that you are particularly interested in, you can click on their name to view all that that user has submitted.
- Using the ‘search’ window, you can type in key words to narrow your search. An advanced search window will allow you to further refine your keyword search by appropriate grade level or topic.
Our ability to find relevant activities that we may want to modify and redesign for our own purposes will, to a large extent, depend upon the ways in which we ‘tag’ our contributions. When submitting to the Salty Chip, think about adding tags that define the text you are using, the strategy, the media, the purpose, the genre etc.
Participants may be inspired by what you did with a particular text, and may want to try something similar with a different text.
Most importantly, when you try something out and adapt it, please share your modifications by uploading your redesigned components back to the chip. Attribute your work appropriately by naming the original author and lesson that was shared.
