Science teacher Mark Camenisch's students have been doing some "app smashing," the process of using multiple technology tools to create projects or complete tasks. The BHS biology students combined a number of different tech. tools, including Prezi, Thinglink, and Tackk, into one engaging display to show what they know about DNA. You can read more about app smashing here.
In the example below, students used Prezi to create a timeline of important historical events in the study of DNA. Then they used Thinglink to construct an interactive model of a DNA molecule. The students then embedded both the Prezi and the Thinglink onto a webpage using Tackk where they could add more important information to highlight their knowledge of DNA.
Many BHS teachers have harnessed the power of individual technology tools to let students' creativity shine. Mr. Camenisch's students show what happens when those powers combine, and the results are pretty amazing!
