My rating of this resource: *****
My experience using this resource: Freshwater Ecology
Topic I was teaching: I use it through out the semester for data for students and resources for students.
My learning goal for which this resource was used: I first use it for having students develop graphical data from the different lakes. W ethan can compare it to the data we have been collecting in our class on the Lake.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: Mainly as a resourse of real data for students to develop questions and than do graphs and to an analysis of the results to what they predicted. We than can compare these to the results on our lake.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases graphing skills, Provides access to data sets, Provides access to remote instrumentation, Increases data collection & analysis skills, Provides practice or tutorial, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: It is difficult to find resources and materials for developing a freshwater ecology program, they have a large resource for teachers. Also it is rare to find data from a long term study posted and accessible by teachers and students.
Weaknesses: A little hard to find your way around the site, it has so much in the form of data and material for students and teachers it is easy to get loss.
