Write and present essays
Students can use Shadow Puppet Edu to present essays that they have written, making them more personal and engaging. Giving students authentic writing tasks involving communication is one of the best ways to more fully involve students in writing (Rodesiler & Kelley, 2017, as cited in Boscolo & Gelati, 2019, p. 56).

Experiment and share results
Students can write and test hypothesis. Shadow Puppet Edu allows them to document the process of their experiments and share their results. Strategies such as the Science-Writing Heuristic (SWH), require students to design investigations, make observations, and gather evidence to support their claims while writing and reflecting on each step. Shadow Puppet Edu can be used to document the steps of SWH and similar strategies (Hand et al., 2004, as cited in Klein, Haug, & Bildfell, 2019, p. 175).
