3.Vertebrates and Invertebrates Wiki helps the students enter in their information digitally and allows them to post their work in a creative way by using fun fonts or pictures in a new and exciting way compared to pencil and paper on a poster board.

4. Having the students use the blog to write their questions, thoughts, and concerns allows time for the students to ask any questions they might have been embarrassed to ask or that they thought of later throughtout their day. It also gives them the opportunity to give feedback to the teacher aon what they thought about the assignment and the technology. They will do this by posting their reflection in the blog. I think this is a great way to have them communicate and express their thoughts and feeling to the teacher and other students. [|Your Questions, Concerns, and Thoughts][|Blog Reflection] =====
