Earth Science
Positive Impact Reported• Increase in content knowledge
The single most important concept that I learned was how to think about what is happening at the molecular level when we observe macroscopic phenomena.
I have strengthened my understanding of the greenhouse effect and the water cycle to how it more deeply relates and affects climate.
• Increase in knowledge of Web 2.0I have been able to integrate technology using Glogster, Prizi and even simple things like embedding videos/discussions into my classroom that I hadn't done before.I learned more about how to find interactive web resources
Next Steps• Continue to observe sample of classrooms.
