Serendip is an independent site partnering with faculty at multiple colleges and universities around the world. Happy exploring!
One of the strengths of blended learning is that computer-based technologies are able to provide quick and easy ways of visualizing data and processes. While these tools can be useful for anyone, they are particularly helpful to visual learners working to grasp complex mathematical and abstract concepts that often feel abstract in a traditional classroom.
What makes Java-based tools like Demos for Probability and Statistics,...
Concord Consortium is a STEM educational research and development organization based in Massachusetts. The site has links to research on education involving many different types of technology from iPads to probes, as well as open-source interactive simulations that they have developed and Molecular Workbench, open-source interactive software that allows you to create your own simulations.
Aims to be a clearinghouse for digital materials in science and math. Differs from many other sites in that it catalogs materials a number of different ways: subject matter, educational level, anticipated use of material (i.e., review). As an example, they have concept maps that illustrate interaction between scientific concepts and list material in library related to each concept.
Contains several applets that can be used to illustrate science and math concepts: Moving Man applet (motion, slope of a line, derivatives, etc.); two water flow applets; and two current flow applets.
Spicynodes is particularly useful in the sciences as a concept-mapping tool. It allows presentations to incorporate interactivity, animation, and radial mapping. Accounts are free, and presentations can be shared and worked on collaboratively.
Remote Ready Biology Learning Activities has 50 remote-ready activities, which work for either your classroom or remote teaching.
