Blendspace Overview
Blendspace allows its users to create an online space composed of different "tiles." These tiles are all related to the same topic, essential question, or theme chosen by the creator, you. The content of each tile comes in many forms such as a YouTube video, Google form, Flickr image, a link to an external webpage, an uploaded image/file, a Dropbox file, a Google Drive file, or a bookmark. Since the creator can upload a Googledoc, the tile can be composed of an Excel file, a Word file, or a PPT file. The beauty of Blendspace is that it allows the creator to create a visual, electronic file folder of sorts for the visitors to peruse. On this website, you will find a lesson pertaining to the background information of the graphic novel Persepolis, a memoir about a girl's coming of age during the Iranian Revolution.
