Similar to Wiffiti, wallwisher is a site where students can post their ideas.
As mathematicians, students found 3d images online. They identified the figure and counted the faces, edges and vertices. The investigation served as an engaging application of the skill as well as a valuable assessment. Uncovering student misconceptions was just as beneficial as discovering their understandings of the concept. See examples below:

As writers, students are working in a fiction factory. It is a place where imaginations run free. Many authors decided to publish their final piece on their ipod touch. With their draft and ipod touch in hand, students were able to add text, images and their voice in minutes. The published work could be emailed, posted to the web and shared with their families at home or friends around the world.
