My rating of this resource: *****

My experience using this resource:
Physics

Topic I was teaching:
Light, refraction, but fits all content areas in physics

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
Resource to see application of the topic

Course Level:
Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular, Remedial

How I/my students used the resource:
Used as a link from teacher website for students to review, also used during the class presentation of the topic for students to see the topic applied

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation, Increases data collection & analysis skills, Provides a virtual lab, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation

Strengths:
Good resource for the teacher to have videos that are short and easily accessible to a range of students

Weaknesses:
Some of these would be better done as an actual demo than to use as a video during the presentation. Important for the teacher to judge when it is better to show this or actually do the demo for the students.
