Podcasts

I found a podcast comparing the collision theory during a chemical reaction to basketball. Since Regents and General Chemistry study kinetic and chemical reactions, this would a helpful way for some of them to hear it presented another way especially using a sports illustration. The more learning styles I can reach the better.

Global Cooperation

I chose the Big Huge Labs from Mod 9. Any of the projects that the students completed could be shared with other classrooms around the world as another way to view the material. This material could be shared using WiZIQ from Mod 8 which is a great program that allows anyone from anywhere in the world to learn from each other. They can communicate via audio or video. Teachers can teach free classes to anyone in the world that signs up and learners can search for classes or teachers that teach subjects that interest them.
