"Science Bits provides teachers with lessons that help them teach science in a way that engages their students. Based on the constructivist 5E Instructional Model, Science Bits lessons use high quality multimedia interactive content to develop an inquiry-based, learning-by-doing method. Science Bits can be used either as a substitute for textbooks or as complementary material."
In a biology classroom, Science Bits can be very helpful in planning and supporting a science lesson. As schools and curriculum move more towards incorporating and mandating technology in the classroom, an application like Science Bits becomes highly useful. Science Bits works perfectly with smart boards and allows students to interact with the lesson in place of traditional oral dictation. The app also allows the instructor to post lessons online with corresponding activities so that students can be active learners at home as well as in school.
As with most technology, the biggest obstacle to using this app would be whether or not students have the access to the technology at home. The benefit of this app is that it can be used primarily in the classroom if your students don't have the access at home.
