Reflection 2

Our second project was to create a virtual tour about a topic in our subject area that could be used by students at the high school or middle school level. I chose to do my virtual tour about the periodic table, how to read /use the information given on the table, how the table is organized, as well as some of the trends found in the table. By creating a virtual tour, I was working on NETS standard 2a where a teacher designs an authentic learning experience that incorporates digital tools and resources to promote student learning. I found this to be a creative way for students to explore the periodic table instead of me simply talking about it in front of the class. By creating a virtual lesson, the lesson almost become hands on for the students and uses digital tools to promote student learning.
