Promoting Science
PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS can leverage computers, microscopes, digital still cameras, DV cameras, and document cameras and then adding visual images to enhance instruction. Do it visually and students learn more. MaryAnne Campo says your can "use images from your photo collection in flickr to make slideshows, add imagery through video clips from your latest summer vacation trips, add images from Google Maps or Google Earth for Physical Geography content or add images and clips from the culture of the people in the countries you visit. Take students virtually into science experiments through visual imagery, show scientific examples; show them a real coral reef. Make your presentations come alive through 3-D imagery".
You need broadband to accomplish these things.
This is much more engaging than pointing to a strange spot on a map. Internet resources let you zoom down into countries and actually see the terrain.
Campo recommends science teachers need to "check out the 50 Most Popular Science Blogs as well.
