Does tool require Sign-in?
Not for basic use, but does have membership for additional features. Can use website and save without account.

How does tool apply to your curricular area?
Physics/Sciences - Allows students to create a visual representation of scientific concepts (i.e. circuit diagrams, cell diagrams or DNA, electron orbitals). These could all be accomplished in paint, but using a Web 2.0 tool without pre-made shapes requires a little more thought. You could also ask students to use the "make a picture" feature and then list all of the scientific inaccuracies. There are more applications for elementary and middle school science.

English [middle and high school]: Students can use the "make a card" feature to write a card to a certain author or character in response to a work read in class. Students could use the "make a movie" or "tell a story" features to rethink/rewrite works read in class through the perspectives of some of the themed characters (aliens, fairy tale characters, pirates, etc).

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?
This tool fits within the "create" tier of Bloom's. This tool allows students to take their knowledge of the information learned and create a product that is applicable to the topic at hand. It can also be placed in the "applying" tier, especially in several science applications where students would be asked to draw pictures of the concepts presented.
