Student Resources in Context
Turn learners into thinkers
Student Resources in Context offers cross-curricular content aligned to Common Core State Standards, and presents that material in the way most useful for students. This unique portal provides stellar support for papers, projects, and presentations that reinforce development of skills like critical thinking and problem solving; communication; collaboration; creativity; and innovation.
Using Word Cloud to Visually See Learning
Use Poll Everywhere to have students respond to what they have learned with phones or devices. Then turn their responses into a Word Cloud (Wordle) to visually see what stands out as the most prominent.
