Digital Media Is Here to Help
Integrating digital media into your teaching can help your students build more accurate views of concepts and practices they sometimes struggle to grasp.
Let’s examine some key ideas and processes related to ecosystems and see examples of how digital media can be used to support them. Specifically, we’ll look at:
- how energy moves through an ecosystem
- modeling feeding relationships
- how matter cycles through an ecosystem
- the carbon cycle
Along the way, you’ll practice evaluating media for classroom use.
Digital media that treats science concepts in novel and engaging ways can help students:
- ask better questions
- develop better models that can be put to use
- make better predictions
- identify evidence to support claims or explanations
Take Notes
How, if at all, do you currently use digital media in your teaching to support students with science concepts and practices related to these ecosystem concepts?
