My rating of this resource: ***
My experience using this resource: Earth Science (jr/sr elective)
Topic I was teaching: geology
My learning goal for which this resource was used: overall course goal is to see how physical and chemical principles can be used to understand the structure and history of the Earth
Course Level: Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: I use in class to project figures and animationsSome students may use for review purposes
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides practice or tutorial, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: Animations are particularly useful to show dynamic processesProjecting figures on the SmartBoard is easier (and better quality) than trying to draw them by hand
Weaknesses: All text is also read as a voice-overRandom access is inconvenient Not all textbook figures are available Some animations and sound effects are distracting rather than helpful Doesn't interface well with SmartBoard for annotation |
