As educators, we want to give our students a comprehensive learning experience. With new initiatives, curricular pieces, and technology, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with everything. . .let alone get ahead of the curve.

It's a great place to begin answering our questions!

Digital Tools for ScienceThe following is a list of digital tools that I have used in my science classes.
Remind.com-This site lets the teacher create classes and text the students/parents reminders and even attachments. I use it to remind students/parents of upcoming due dates. I can text the entire class at once using my computer, not my personal cell phone number.
PHET.com- This site has great animations and simulations for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and more. I use this site in my Physical Science and Biology classes for interactive online labs. Biology Corner.com- This site provides lesson plans, worksheets, tutorials, and resources to teachers. I use this site in for my Biology Classes for lessons, labs, case studies, animations, etc. Youtube.com- This site provides almost unlimited clips and animations that can lend themselves to any classroom. My favorite clips come from the Ameba Sisters, who try to demystify science and believe in the power of humor and relevance. They create hilarious clips that thoroughly explain difficult science concepts in a refreshing way. |
