Now we have hit the middle of the term, research tasks are in full swing. Instagrok has been introduced to teachers and students as a one stop shop for locating, selecting and organising information found online. Instagrok is a research tool that allows users to build a concept map to which they can pin notes, websites, videos, and facts. Users can then open a journal where all 'pinned' resources with active hyperlinks are available, the fully interactive journal can be saved and shared.
Here are some of the reasons why Instagrok is so awesome:
It is only the beginning but we hope that Instagrok is changing the culture of research at SSC Leichhardt. We are encouraging students to not head straight over to Google, but use the power of the Instagrok suite of information literacy tools to complete a well crafted search for information. So far Science, Geography and Music have directed students to Instagrok to research their Term 1 assessment tasks and response by students has been positive. its becoming our go-to search engine of choice.
