Lesson Notes

1. Digital Readings are important but students need skills to be able to analyze the text. One advantage of digital text is that students can manipulate it.

2. Probes are important in science labs because they allow for the quick collection of data. This shifts the focus of instruction to analysis and higher order thinking skills.

3. Authentic science includes sharing of data outside of the classroom walls. In this case we use Wikispaces and Google Docs to create a collaborative environment. www.wikispaces.com http://docs.google.com

3a. The missing element is a place for students to keep their scientific work. In my classroom, we use Evernote to host the data. www.evernote.com

4. Webcams (or smart phones) allow for the quick recording of videos. Students need to be able to communicate.
