Phrase Net

When to use a Phrase Net

A phrase net diagrams the relationships between different words used in a text. It uses a simple form of pattern matching to provide multiple views of the concepts contained a book, speech, or poem. The image below is a word graph made from Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." The program has drawn a network of words, where two words are connected if they appear together in a phrase of the form "X and Y":

National Geographic Wildlife Filmmaker - NeverEndingSearch - Blog on School Library Journal

Using National Geographic Wildlife Filmmaker, young filmmakers drag clips, sounds, music, and captions to to the timeline area. On the right, they'll find an Animals A-Z reference tool that provides animal profiles, Fast Facts, a media gallery, and links to related critters.

Productions can be saved on the site itself and shared via email. Each saved video is assigned a nine-digit retrieval code. Kids will have to remember to keep this number in a safe place.

Intuitive, attractive, and easy as pie, this is a fine tool for elementary animal exploration and for class presentation. I can see teachers and students grouping clips to study locomotion, to examine ecosystems and habitats, to compare mammals or reptiles or amphibians. Animal-loving kids will love it for classroom and for personal investigations.

I kinda hope that the libraries of available film clips and sounds multiply and that NGS will consider adding voice recording and embedding features. I also wish the clips were labeled so that users could see what they were dragging prior to dragging them to the timeline.
