= Technology tools that add value: = //Flip video Cameras//- Students will be able to watch their own presentation over and over again, and other peers and family can have access to these interesting presentations.

//Google Forms-// Instead of asking students to refer to the rubric to make sure they have all required data, they can use the google form to input their answers. As the teacher, I can also have access to all students' information. This could be a great guideline for test questions, or the teacher could use this to make sure students have correct information and correct time-management.

//Microsoft Word/Powerpoint//- Instead of having students simply draw the plant cell, students will use familiar computer programs to complete this task. This will assist them in learning through technology; they can use this program for other subjects/creations/projects.

//Cells Alive interative site- //This site is more interactive for the students and more enjoyable than worksheets or textbook explanations. This can increase student engagement.

//Classroom Blog/Wiki Discussion Board- //Writing about their project on their classroom blog and discussion will emphasize the idea of writing for a real life audience. Students will also learn from other classmates by reading their posts.
