I utilized COOLTOOLSFORSCHOOL.wikispaces to have the students create a flipbook to demonstrate their knowledge on a specific issue that is relevant to WWI. The directions for the project are as follows:
For this assignment you will create a flipbook that displays a significant event or concept from WWI. This flipbook needs to include important information and facts that will help the class understand the significance of your topic. Your flipbook must be a minimum of 80 slides. You will be graded on completeness, how artistic it is, how well you used your time, and how much effort went into the project. Click add a new entry, and put your name in, then hotlink your project in the blank box.
Have Fun!!!
This is a link to the website that the students used:

These are links to examples of students work:

As far as the success of the lesson goes, I feel as though the students enjoyed the project, and hopefully will remember some of the different technologies that were present in the War, but I think that the media limited what the students could do as far as the transmission of information so that their classmates could learn from it. As a result of this, I would look to see what other unique websites and technologies I could use in the future (from cooltoolsforschools) to improve upon the lesson and its value to the students.
