Project: For a beginning of the year and when I get a new group of students each new 12 weeks, I have them create a Personality Poster in Word using Text and Pictures to represent their life. It is a way for them to express creativity and express themselves. It is a great class starter. However, using a new Web 2.0 tool will be a great way to engage the students and learn about them!
Web 2.0 Technology- I went on the Web 2.0 tool website called Animoto. www.animoto.com
How I Did It- I created an account in Animoto. I used the free version to start with. You can create unlimited 30 sec. videos. Once you create an account, you select Create Video. It is a 3 step process. Upload pictures or video from your computer or from their library. I used 10 of my own pictures. I added text in this step as well. Step 2 is to select music. I used their library. You select music by genres. You can use your own if you own rights to it. Step 3 is create. Select create and animoto renders and processes it for you.
I selected Share video and it copied the URL for me and I then can paste where I want to. It also allows you to email it right from the website or share it on any social network site.

One of the goals in biology is:
Students can "summarize the experiments that led to the discovery of DNA". This also correlates to the Ohio Standards for Science - Life Science 26 which states: "Use historical examples to explain how new ideas are limited by the context in which they are conceived. These ideas are often rejected by the scientific establishment; sometimes spring from unexpected findings; and usually grow slowly through contributions from many different investigators (e.g., biological evolution, germ theory, biotechnology and discovering germs)."

Time Toast (www.timetoast.com) is a web 2.0 tool that allows you to create timelines of anything you want then share them with whoever you want. It is also possible for people to leave comments on your timeline.
Since the goal is for students to know the experiments that led up to the discovery of the DNA molecule as well as how each scientist built upon the work of the previous ones, I decided to use Time Toast as a way for students to create an involved timeline of the entire process. The nice thing about Time Toast is that it allows you to do more than just make a timeline with titles and dates. In fact, it allows you to add pictures and text about each entry on the timeline.
So, students will have to create a timeline of at least 8 major scientists involved in the discovery of the DNA molecules. For each scientist on their timeline they will need to include information about how the scientist contributed to the discovery - their experiments, conclusions, and other interesting facts. Then, students will submit their timelines online (probably on my pbworks site). Then, students will have to examine and leave feedback on at least 2 other timelines. Finally, students will take the feedback and tweak their timelines before final submission.
I have created a sample timeline - the student timelines should be even better than mine. http://www.timetoast.com/timelines/63181
