Sciences push for integration of IT

The Science department would like to focus this year on the use of resources during lessons. We want to investigate, implement and re-implement the use of iPads, other technology and the Promethean Board as well as old-fashioned pen-and-paper resources. We want to start out by investigating which iPad apps are available and not too costly as well as which resources are available for the Promethean. We chose two topics to begin our cell discussions: Grade 7 graphs, where we would like to make use of the Promethean, and Grade 11 Molecular Geometry, where we want to make use of an iPad app if we can find a suitable one. This week teachers will all do research and try to find something on which we can design the lessons.
