Reinventing the Scientific Model Using Time-stop Animation
Self-paced Module Now Available
Course Description
Do you find that model activities aren’t as rigorous as they could be? Do models tend to end up as classroom decorations rather than true demonstrations of learning? This VLE explains how smart phones can be used to create complex time-stop animated models that put learning in motion and ignite student creativity.
