Title: Storify

Uses in the Classroom: Choose an event in history that you are studying and have the students tell the story from the point of view of a specific person. Students could then design a digital journal that tells about their experiences using images, audio, and video to enhance the writing piece.
For example, while studying the Civil Rights, students could journal their experience from the perspective of the two opposing view points. Using videos, images, and sound clips from that time in history will make the learning opportunity rich with content from the eyes of the learner.

Issues to Consider: Students need to be literate in the different types of multimedia that can be included in Storify such as YouTube, Flickr and Soundcloud.

Mind Mapping

Title: Diversity in the Classroom 

                                                                      Diversity Map

Uses in the Classroom: Students could design a mind map in order to compare and contrast two characters in a novel. From this the students would be able to create a writing piece or a Step-Inside Routine. (Visible Thinking Routine by Ron Ritchart)

Issues to Consider: Graphics and images can only be included if you pay for a membership with bubbl.us. Similar program like Kidspiration are much more user friendly.
