4. Knowledge creation, communicating and sharing

4.1. Seesaw: allows students to share and communicate their work online instantly. Writing, task completion, and decision making throughout the unit such as selecting an information product or an investigation question is confirmed on Seesaw as an accountability tool. Students capture and share images of their work, particularly investigation material such as evidence of finding birds in school. Seesaw is easy to utilize for grade 4 students as the multicomponent allows students to add text, pictures, voice recordings and upload material. Seesaw also notifies teachers once students add content, thus when needing to confirm materials or ideas, this could be completed directly by approving it or giving constructive feedback for students. Students' digital portfolio also allows students to view other students' work which extends their repertoire and shares work with peers.

4.2. Metaverse Studio: allows students to create by organizing information on a storyboard then integrate them. Various elements can be incorporated on Metaverse to represent ideas and create information products. Once students have completed their products, they can directly share and test their experiences through the provided link or QR code, which can be used with the Metaverse app to view the AR experience. This app allows students to synthesize and share information by applying it to their storyboards to communicate ideas, discuss the investigation, sustainability issue and share project with their peers.
