I was sitting in my grad class, teaching a lesson when a twitter message caught my eye. It said, " instagrok.com just might be what we have been searchin 4,a legit research tool for the 21st century". I clicked and what I saw blew me away. We switched lessons and explored this powerful site. Here are some keys:
1. It has a built in journal and history of what you read and links to where you visited. The journal allows you to take notes and save them for use on any computer anywhere.
2. It is visual: it builds a web on the topic you searched.
3. It has web resources for each topic to the right of the web: Key facts, Links, Images, video, quizes, and concepts.
4. Click any bubble in the web and all the resources change...every time you pick a new bubble.
5. It is fun!!!
Here is a google doc to a PDF brochure on Instagrok.com
Check it out and tell me how you find to use this with your students and what they think. I look forward to hearing from you.
