Science Connections in Washington
Teachers in Asotin, Washington spent the morning learning how to use Discovery Science to replace the textbook. Teachers experienced how to use the ebooks and fundamentals to introduce concepts to the whole class using the Promethean board. Next in small groups we carried out a virtual lab, making sure to change only one variable for a fair test. Finally we explored ways that content, including video segments and interactive glossary items, can be assigned to students to reinforce and extend learning.
Web 2.o tools were the theme for the afternoon. We explored five great tools that allow students to incorporate Discovery’s images and reading passages to express key learning in a creative format with the rest of the world! Find tips, tricks, instructions and samples for all of these great tools — Animoto, Glogster, Wordle, Webspiration, and Voicethread. Visit the Web 2.0 Integration page now!
