LearnAlberta Online Gizmos

Like our students, we love to play, especially online. Sometimes, it's pretty amazing what you'll spend your time doing if it has a certain element of "fun" to it. For example, LearnAlberta has just announced several online interactive demos and assessment applets for Jr. High Science. Each grade level as about two units of study completed so far, each with ten or so "gizmos". Access to the LearnAlberta site is free to Calgary Catholic teachers so check out some of the applets, and use them in class the net time you have a SMARTboard or LCD projector handy.

We like the fact that the online assessment tools offer immediate marking and feedback, so students can tell right away how they're doing.
