MySciLife is a free educational social media platform that leverages social media elements students already enjoy using to create media and active connections with curricular content and develop digital citizenship skills. On MySciLife, middle-level students design identities based on science concepts, conduct research to build their profiles, and learn from one another as they personify their identities in posts, comments, and responses. For example, they may choose to become their favorite planet and talk about their region of the Solar System. Or they may comment on posts as different organisms to show relationships in the food chain, or play two truths and a lie while personifying a tectonic plate. The possibilities are endless.
Students can log in from any browser on any device, making it perfect for use in the classroom, as an assignment, or as a remote learning tool in distance, blended, or flipped classrooms. Teachers can enrich their science curriculum with fully customizable NGSS-aligned modules covering middle-level science’s most popular topics.
