hyperlinks

June 12th
Added info in the resource links and edited

review, feedback, edit...
REFLECTION
I found that blogging was very enjoyable, and that once you start, you cannot stop. Blogging is the form with which we indirectly learn much of our news, information, and allows for an informal format to pitch the best ed tech software for the up and coming teacher to use in the classroom. I found from Ana's comments that I need to consider the social aspect of the 5e nutrition lesson that I posted. Students with body-image issues may feel that my lesson is intrusive, asking for both height and weight. I instead could allow students to use a default statistic, where they can utilize a random height and weight and do the activity with that data so as to make it less subjective, and more objective.
I also found that when you are blogging and advocating for a certain type of technology, you are also responsible for discussing all types of software that may or may not support the science technology website. For a mac user, it may be very disappointing to find a lack of information for the non-compatibility of a Macintosh to the directions. I found that I should be clearer to include that. David gave me feedback to include in my How to a students guide in the pictures of what they should be learning. I fee that it is absolutely necessary and I will make it clear that the video that I posted has all the practical information they need. I feel that this blog should be relatively broad in terms of what students should be learning, because that should be left for the teacher to tailor the objective. However, knowing the functions and the overall effects, a science teacher can easily make a SIM their personal robotic teacher, all they really need is a little presentation.
