Integrating PhET simulations in science and math studies.

PhET simulations are designed to provide an open exploratory environment. They can be used in many different educational settings, including lecture, individual or small group inquiry activities, homework, online courses, and labs. This flexibility makes the sims easy to integrate into courses, allowing teachers to choose the simulation and then tailor their use of the simulation to address the most important learning goals for their students. In this three week course, you will learn about how the sims are designed, some best practices for use, and explore/create lessons you can use with your students.

Get ready for your journey into Using PhET Interactive Simulations by exploring one of the three resources.
1. Handout about PhET (this is the attachment and it is what we handed out at ISTE - but I don't see how to include it)

2. July Newsletter at http://phet.colorado.edu/newsletters/2012-july/newsletter.html

3. "For Teachers" pages starting at http://phet.colorado.edu/en/for-teachers.

Then share your ideas about these resources. You could use the prompts below to help you with ideas for sharing:
a) What might share with a colleague?
b) How does the resource help you use PhET?
c) What questions come to mind for discussion in this course?
