Basically a site where you make a virtual poster/collage of a lesson. It is great for compiling unit materials, making it a review tool before a unit/chapter test, and students can use it to narrow down resources for a project. It's nice because you can add text, links, videos, and pictures.

I love Glogster! There are so many uses for this website. I've had students make multiple Glogsters that interlink with a Glogster "homepage" for their projects. Space can be a limitation for a single Glogster, but encouraging students to separate and categorize their work into separate digital posters can get them the space they need!

Evolutionary Biology Resource

This is a great online resource that students can use to create perfect MLA or APA citations. While it doesn't do ALL the work for students (as they'll still have to find and input the source's author, dates etc.), it will create a perfect citation after they've finished.

This is a great resource for educators as well; you can create a "pin board" of images, videos, websites that are of interest to you. There are certain categories of public "pin boards" - the educators category is GREAT! Although a lot of them are geared towards elementary schools, there are some great ideas for educators at any level.

I am such a fan of Pinterest. I have a board for everything! It is funny how you will start out just exploring the Pinterest site, and before you know it, you find yourself "Pinning" everything you come across on the web! Engaging students in a research project where they can utilize the different Pins provided, or having them post representative images for a visual literacy activity are just two of the many ways to use Pinterest with students.
