Using Lino for Project Based Assessments

Last year I used Glogster exclusively as a medium to have my students create project based assessments in my social studies classes.  It can be a great service but I just had too many issues with glogs disappearing and our school had a new firewall that was not allowing pictures to be uploaded. I had a couple options of what to use but decided to go with Lino because it was simple and allowed for a google sign in. (All the students at my school have a student Gmail account.)  So far Lino is working out great for my classes. The students can post sticky notes and explain the concepts we are covering and add photos to illustrate the concepts they have learned. They could post videos but most of those are blocked at our school. I have my students turn in their assignments on my class Moodle page by embedding the link to their board on a forum I created. What you see below is how they show up in the forum.Click on the pictures below to open the entire Lino board.
