Wonderful site for students to get ideas for projects, and to share their work with others.

How I Use It

I use it as part of a small club, and am experimenting with it in one of my Middle School technology classes. It helps me and my students track what we've completed, and offers a electronic portfolio of sorts to save and share later. One of the other aspects that I like is the skill badge concept that rewords kids for completed a set of projects related to a specific activity. Kids can focus on what they want, or branch out with others in the club to tackles skills they aren't as familiar with. I also use the site as a parent. DIY has a great parent portal that lets me know when one of my kids has submitted a project, and what projects they are commenting on. A nice improvement to the site would be to add a teacher portal that has these same features.
