Tool+Showcase

=Tool Showcase=

===Welcome to the Tool Showcase. We will use this wiki page as a collaborative site so that we can share our work as we learn new tools.===

1) For each tool you will paste the URL or the embed code of a product that you have produced using the tool. 2) Follow the following steps: - Choose "Edit this Page" in the Upper Right of the Page. - An editor toolbar will appear. It works nearly exactly the same as MS Word. It is a WYSIWIG efitor (__W__hat __Y__ou __S__ee Is __W__hat __Y__ou __G__et).

VERY IMPORTANT: For each entry, past the following template (below the line) in the spaces provided on the tool page.

4. Instructional Activity Explanation: In my 1:1 biology classroom we are beginning to study nuclear structure and function. After initially reviewing mitosis and basic nuclear structure with my students, students were asked to develop vocabulary associated with such and then create a Wordle. The Web 2.0 tool emphasizes scientific literacy and vocabulary building while also allowing creativity. Student Wordles were posted on my 1:1 classroom blog.
