Using the StudyStack web site, you use your computer to display a stack of "virtual cards" which contain information about a certain subject. Just like flashcards, you can review the information at your own pace discarding the cards you've learned and keeping the ones you still need to review. However, unlike traditional flash cards, each card can show multiple pieces of information; and the whole stack can be automatically sorted by any one of the pieces of information. Also, when you enter the data for a studystack, the same data can automatically be displayed as flashcards, a matching game, a word search puzzle, and a hangman game.
Students can use StudyStack to create banks or stacks of electronic cards that can be reviewed online, printed, or exported to a pda, cell phone, or iPod. Email registration is required in order to create a Study Stack, but students can use public study s
Short, online animations of biological processes. The large display area is perfect for use with the ActivBoard. Includes animated clips of Water/Buffers, Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Enzymes, Membrane Transport, Cell Structures, Metabolism, Molecular
Connect - We invite you to join or log in to our social network for youth voices, where students and teachers work together (see Curriculum and Guides) to create student-to-student conversations and collaborations.
We hope that you will make Youth Voices your destination for many different activities in school and out.
Comment - Be heard. This is a place for you to engage in discussions. To find something that you may want to comment on:
* search with keywords in the search box
* choose one of the New/Current Discussions
* consider the Popular Discussions, the ones with the most comments
* browse by Topics
* find posts by members of your school or community groups
We encourage you to spend a lot of time writing thoughtful comments back and forth on other students' Discussions.
Create - Be known. Show who you are through your creativity and scholarship. At Youth Voices you can post updates many times each day on the microblog, What's up? And you can use your cell phone to post audio.
You can also create, revise, and polish three types of Discussions:
* audio podcasts
* text with embedded media
* discussions that begin with videos and VoiceThreads

The simplified mechanisms of drug action presented here are just a small part of the story. When drugs enter the body they elicit very complex effects in many different regions of the brain. Often they interact with many different types of neurotransmitters and may bind with a variety of receptor types in a variety of different locations. For example, THC in marijuana can bind with cannabinoid receptors located on the presynaptic and/or postsynaptic cell in a synapse.
Where applicable, this presentation primarily depicts how drugs interact with dopamine neurotransmitters because this website focuses on the brain's reward pathway. Mouse Party is designed to provide a small glimpse into the chemical interactions at the synaptic level that cause the drug user to feel 'high'.
"The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below. "
