My rating of this resource: ****

My experience using this resource:

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
For the students to explore the brain and its complexity independently and from a source other than their book.

Course Level:
A.P.

How I/my students used the resource:
I recomended the site to my students as an optional resoure for them to use.

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation, Provides a virtual lab, Provides practice or tutorial, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation

Strengths:
The site has a lot of information and many differnt ways to access information. It is a very vreative way to think about the brain and its fucntions.

Weaknesses:
There is a lot of information, so you have to pick carefully which parts of the site to use. Tyring to get through all of it in class would take a lot of time.
