Description:
"CK-12 is an app to help students, and teachers improve K-12
learning globally by providing self-pace learning content & tools.
Learn over 5,000 math and science concepts at your own pace
and in your own style! (videos, assessments, interactive objects, etc)"
Application:
This application is a great resource to use for educators in providing supportive materials to students at home. Biology teachers can utilize this app after reviewing learning materials in class as a supplemental support for their students. They can assign a specific reading or have students search for videos and articles themselves on a given topic at home. The app works on a PC, tablet, or even smartphone so students have multiple outlets to use the resource on. An example of using this application would be to assign students to find one article or video on CK-12 for homework on the plant processes such as photosynthesis. Given the nature of the application, the use of technology outside of the classroom would be an issue. However, you could set aside ten minutes of class time for students to use the application in school if your student body is in a economically disadvantaged area.
