Interesting article on the use of different simulation modalities to train CRNAs! Kate Lindley

This is a great overview web site for those teaching science (specifically chemistry). We will be using ChemCollective and PhET simulations this fall and are still reviewing others

Importance of Debriefing With All Simulation

Interesting article on how technology impacts the classroom today.

This article provides insights into the educational value of web 2.0 tools and how these tools may be used within education

This article encourages and motivates the exploration of best practices in integrating digital games, social networking, and simulations in the learning environment.

I have been looking for labs I could add to my online science classes. This article shares some interesting tools that could be used for this purpose. If anyone finds any specific to Anatomy and Physiology, I would love to see them!

Useful for Virtual Labs

This is a fantastic set of digital learning objects for the sciences!

This is a great resource to find simulations in numerous areas of science.

tools and constructivism

Love that the "practical descriptions of constructivist learning" listed in the article "[C]onstructivist learning should engage students in meaningful learning and ... the critical features are that the learning should be ... * Active and manipulative, engaging students in interactions and explorations with learning materials and provid[ing] opportunities for them to observe the results of their manipulations * Constructive and reflective, enabling students to integrate new ideas with prior knowledge to make meaning and enable learning through reflection * Intentional, providing opportunities for students to articulate their learning goals and monitor their progress in achieving them * Authentic, challenging and real-world (or simulated), facilitating better understanding and transfer of learning to new situations * Cooperative, collaborative, and conversational, providing students with opportunities to interact with each other to clarify and share ideas, to seek assistance, to negotiate problems, and discuss solutions."

The Matlab tools are extremely helpful in mathematical modeling and run very well on a home computer. My application was in software engineering at the Master's level. Student license costs are about $200 - $300 or so, depending how many tools are downloaded.

This is a great resource for chemistry teachers. In particular, I recommend the math skills area and the "Introduction to Stoichiometry" (Level 3, especially!).

I just found this website and I believe I could utilize this in the Cisco courses that I teach.
