"Science in Plain English"
Since it is getting closer to the 4th of July, I have been working along with my husband at our firework stand. I haven't had a chance to make my organism poster using Glogster, but I just had to post about a site that has student created vidoes based on the CommomCraft "In plain English" video series. The videos are short and to the point, demonstrating concepts with paper cut outs. The student made videos covering science topics are awesome! I am excited to think about how to put this to use in an activity geared for a biology classroom. So far, I've thought both showing how to use a punnet square's and demonstrating mitosis would work well in this format . Now I just need to learn how to go about posting a self-created video. That is something I have never done, so this could be an interesting endeavor!

I think the "In Plain English" series are great examples that can be used by students or a teacher to show science topics. I like your idea of making one for Punnet Square or mitosis. I was also thinking of doing a video for DNA replication, transcription, and translation since they can be difficult concepts until you can picture it.
