My rating of this resource: *****

My experience using this resource:
Chemistry

Topic I was teaching:
The tool was for a variety of Chemistry topics.

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
My learning goal for using this was for students to have some well done visuals and animations to see and assist in understanding concepts that are at an atomic level.

Course Level:
Intro or Regular

How I/my students used the resource:
I have used the resource many times in order to visually demonstrate concepts to students during an instruction time.

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

Strengths:
It is an easy tool to implement with projection capabilities. I really like the ability to save the files to my desktop and then change them as I needed. I could change individual slides, move slides around in order, etc. Students engaged with the animations and easy to read slides.

Weaknesses:
It is used in conjunction with the Prentice Hall textbook, so unless you are with Prentice Hall to begin with you may not be able to get it. I had some difficulty getting the animations to load. It was a simple tech issue that my IT dept. help me square away.
