I have found several sites with good simulation programs that will be valuable in my instructional practice. I have also developed an even greater appreciation for "Concept Maps" as Mind Tools and how they can helps students create connections with material.
I am satisfied with the initial learning goals that I set and do not feel like it is necessary to set any new goals. My goals evolve around creating learning activities and experiences that address diverse learning styles using digital tools and resources. I plan to extend my use of concept maps and continue searching for computer tutorial programs to assist in physical science.
To improve my learning next time I will begin with a broader approach and attempt to work toward refining it as I go. This time I believe my initial approach was to specific and it made it difficult to find material I was interested in.

Richard,
ReplyDeleteI like the concept maps too. I teach math, but I can see how they can be very useful in science. I know that there are a lot of math tutorials out there. I found most of them by searching for other things for my class. Here are 2 site that a physical science teacher uses at my school:

It looks like you are on the right track. I too like the concept maps. They really help my lower level students to organize thier thoughts.
