This is a student-created product in which students capture the learning that happened in class and revise it in order to add the metacognitive hooks that support deeper understanding and recall of information.
There are many ways to create a learning artifact. One type is a SlideSnap. SlideSnaps use multimedia to create metacognitive hooks to the work that identify what helped students in the learning process. SlideSnaps include an image, a text box, and an audio recording made by the student discussing the work.
Click through the slides to see a description of each part of a SlideSnap and a blank template.
