Ideas for searching

Search site for images with CC []

The Search Engine [] This search engine generate concept words and sites.

The children could use Wordle to see main concepts in a topic page. EG copy text from Wikipedia paste in and see main words to explain topic [] This is what I got from doing this with global warming:

It shows the key concepts.

The children could Visuword if there are words they are unsure of when researching []

It might be good to use a scribblemap [] as a class/ or a map in the classroom. Give each group a different Paddle and mark places on the globe where their issue is occurring. (could be homework task?)

As the children find pictures f their key topic to explain it. They could save the pictures and make a mosaic which could aide explanation. This could be done in Big Huge Labs Mosaic Maker [], or autocollage
