Use Lino to organize virtual Gallery Walks when students design models to explain scientific principles. Gallery walks allow classmates to view, evaluate, and give feedback on those models. Teachers can take pictures of models and post them on Lino where students can comment using virtual sticky notes. This saves on the cost of sticky notes and physical space in the classroom where models need to be displayed.
