How does tool apply to your curricular area? (if your group contains more than one curricular area, give an example in each area)
1) Social Studies: allows students respond to historical text and current events. It provides a form for global conversations (students from other parts of the world can leave comments on the same issue). 2) English: allows for students to create collaborative projects in which they comment on literary text, historical text, and film adaptations. It allows for creative projects in which students respond to other students' work.
