That being said, InstaGrok is an intelligent visual search engine and interactive learning tool that collects educational content and displays it in the form of a cloud of related words. The tool is very appealing because it offers a variety of multimedia features to meet the unique learning needs of students. In addition to the visual map, content is displayed in the form of text, images, video and web links. Also, students can use the handy slider tool to access usable information by self selecting the level of difficulty of results displayed. In addition to the visual mode, an integrated journal and note-taking feature allows users to take notes without leaving the site. Click on the push pin to add content to the journal then add original thoughts and ideas as notes. The journal can be emailed or printed for convenience. When you sign up, I would highly recommend going through the quick demo video.
My goal is to add a "cool tech tool" every week that teachers can easily embed into their lessons to help provide learners with a variety of learning experiences. This week I came across a really neat learning tool called instaGrok. It is a teaching tool that focuses on teaching academic vocabulary to students of all ages. If students are given the opportunity to receive effective vocabulary instruction, most students can acquire vocabulary at rates that will improve their comprehension and also their chances for success in school.
