In the Classroom
Bookmark and save this site for use when implementing STEAM activities or makerspaces. Introduce this activity with a projector or on an interactive whiteboard to show students how to navigate the site. Then, in your flipped or blended classroom (or at a computer center), have students, or small groups of students, explore on their own. Allow them to choose a book (creating book groups?) or a project to explore. Ask students to create their own concept maps to record their learning and understanding using MindMup, <a href="/single.cfm?id=14407">reviewed here</a>. Challenge students to use their concept maps to share what they learned with peers by making an interactive infographic using Gennial.ly, <a href="/single.cfm?id=17621">reviewed here</a>. Genial.ly allows students to insert videos, hyperlinks, & maps that are interactive.
