Resource Blog 1
One useful website I found, NSTA: National Science Teaching Association, offers a variety of links. Some of the links are interactive links. They are videos or CD’s that allow the students to watch, which in my opinion is more interesting to students. Watching allows the students to hear and see processes, for example, any kind of cycle, life, cell, reproductive. The students are allowed to see what physically happens during each of the cycles with the videos. With this link, you can narrow down the search to make the video more specific to the lesson. For example, I searched “cell reproduction” and selected “videos”. When I clicked search, multiple resources came up. This website is a good way to filter through the many other websites. Other links in the website are deeper articles that allows the students to have a better understanding of different topics. If a student learns better by reading articles, you could pull a link up and everyone in class could recite it aloud and in unison. Then send it home with each of the students, or in extra class time, allow the students to highlight important parts of the article and discuss why they think it is important. I think this is useful because you can search for a name or subject, then the type of resource you want is at your finger tips! This would be a great resource for any science education classroom. The best part, it’s all free.

Hey Corben! This is a really great resource and something I can see myself using in my future classroom. I like how there is an option to narrow down the search and there are reliable resources provided instead of sifting through videos for hours trying to find ones that are credible. I also like how the resource provided many different modes of learning by way of articles, videos, and interactive simulations. Students all learn differently so it's helpful to have a resource they can go to that can explain information and concepts to them in a way they best understand. Word count: 100
