The one tool I want to expand the use of is Jing based discussion boards where students can use voice or print to have a discussion. I am developing a unit for the scientific method where students will design experiments. I want to encourage them to be creative and think about studying anything using the scientific method. Examples of experiments will involve zombies, superheroes, and other pop culture references. Such as an experiment to see what supplements help Capt America to maintain peak condition, what materials could help Ironman have better armor, or how much force is required to dispatch a zombie. The students will design their experiment and send it to me. I will then respond with a couple of data sets that could have come from their experiment and they will analyze the results. Then they will post their experiment in a journal like format and other students will respond to it and design follow-up experiments. I want a lively discussion about the experiments and for many students typing their response is a drawback to getting them to really respond to what other s have done. I see a lot of potential to being able to have students respond verbally. I want them involved to really understand what the peer review portion of the scientific method  is an how it works to keep science advancing. I also see potential to turn what is often typically one of the most boring sections of a science class into one of the funnest to start the class.
