During this poster presentation, participants will learn how to integrate technology so that it engages, enhances, and extends the students understanding of animals and their adaptations. They will see how students were able to synthesize the information that they know about animals to discover a new animal. In this poster presentation will be detailed visual with resources on how to begin the project with their students to the final product and how to extend it using other tools. Participants will understand how digital citizenship can be woven into a project so that it enhances the outcome of the project and isn't just an extra lesson that is added in. They will see this through the component that talks about fake news and real news. Participants will see how a project like this can help assess a students understanding of a topic while giving them an opportunity to express who they are through their work.
