Nova Stars Presentation Materials

This is an outline of a Moodle presentation that was prepared and delivered at the VTCite Summer Institute (2008) by Maria Germano, Bryant Pless and Joanne Finnegan. There is a link to a YouTube video that explains what Moodle is, ideas for using Moodle and includes links to resources for using and teaching with Moodle. Warning: Some of the links go to a private moodle site and will not work!

Here is a presentation (in .pdf format) on how to use YouTube, as well as possible uses and implications in education.

This site provides science lessons plans using podcasts and videos. Resources also include a site for students to blog, podcast links and wiki links. There are many experiments provided, magazine articles that students can access and read. Numerous lessons plans are provided with extensive supports for students and teachers.
