Links to the Future

Here are links to software or sites where you can interact with the web. The research on the affect of technolgy on increased learning speaks most loudly in the area of interactivity. Sites and software that can become an integral part of your daily instruction will bring your instruction and your student’s learning to a new level.

Chemistry is a subject that needs a great deal of visualization. Molecules need to be seen and manipulated. Using sites that contain files of different molecules and plug ins or stand alone programs to translate the molecular files lets the student visualize the world of molecules. Here are some links to get you started.
