Hi Group,
I know that my topic is to increase interaction in the classroombut today I wanted to look at the use of animation to help make a connection. The following website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/teachers/biology/activities.shtml
has a number of biology related topics that the instructor could use to supplement their instruction. All of the segments are short and too the point. Some students are more visual than others so this may assist with increasing comprehension. Also, the isnstructor could include this link on a school website for the students to explore.
I do wish that the site included more information to guide the student as they view the video. These are not intended to stand alone and should not replace instruction.

This was a cool site. Do you know if they have an elementary one like it. The videos are a great way to reonforce the instruction that was given to them in class and the animations might make it to more understandable to all students.
I liked this site. I checked out a few of the animations to include the greenhouse effect and nitrogen cycle and was impressed. These are great supplements to traditional lectures or as you state as a good reference to have listed on a school website for students to explore. Such visual animations are nice additions to liven up the classroom.
