Ask A Scientist

What I liked about Ask A Scientist website was the amount of related topics that stemmed from the original inquest. Many times other thought are given to help stretch further the investigation, but it is up to the researcher to continue the search. The positive aspect in this website was that it provided a link to find out the answers to the additional inquiries next to the related topics. Many times students lack the knowledge on how to start a project, this website would be a good starting point. It could also be used as a resource for discussions or simply for exploration about the world. Students, as well as teachers, will find that Ask A Scientist is a valuable teaching resource.

Review

As society advances so should teachers. Teachers today compete with visual stimuli that students have access from all around them. Students need a variety of projects and learning tools to learn. I have spent some time reviewing Animoto, Vuvox, Viddix, Vcasmo, Zoho Show, Preezo, Prezi, and Slidesix. To tell the truth, some of the programs were overwhelming. I tried but some were not easy to figure out how to use. Others had fees, which I would probably not use. The program I plan to use for my project is Prezi. I believe my students would enjoy using this program as well.
