Create 4 - Building Portable Learning Objects

Create: Using your lesson topic, build two high quality, reusable learning objects.

Answer: What is the intended use of your learning objects?  How might the objects be used in an online or blended classroom?

I created the following objects with Educaplay as tools to review concepts in a recent unit on evolution. The interactive map assesses students' understanding of the graphic shown, called a cladogram. Cladograms are used to show evolutionary relationships based on derived characteristics. Students are to place the derived characteristics in their appropriate place on the cladogram. The crossword is an assessment of students' understanding of unit vocabulary.

I really like that Educaplay gives me the option to share via link or embed. These would be easy to share as assignments on my LMS, Google Classroom or to embed in a teacher website. I could use either of these items as formative assessments to monitor students' progress on unit standards.
