59. What is Filamentality??? Filamentality is a fill-in-the-blank interactive website that guides you through picking a topic, searching the web, gathering good Internet sites, and turning web resources into activities appropriate for learners. It helps you combine the Filaments of the web with a learner’s mentality. Filamentality helps you spin pieces of the Web to design your own learning activities.
