This month's blog is
Handling Challenging Types Of Online Students

Handling challenging students is always difficult, especially when you
are a teacher with a big class and everyone requires your attention.
This task becomes even harder in the current situation when everyone
is bound to learn online.
There are certain ways you can handle challenging students effectively
and make sure that everyone receives the attention they require.
This blog post covers four ways to handle the most challenging types
of online students.

Every month we are going to feature a different iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application.
Visit our ever-changing app page. (www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/apps_web2_tools.htm)
The App of the Month for June is PhET Simulations By University of Colorado Boulder ( iOS / Android ).
Over 80 interactive simulations and games for math and science
learning!
Engage in learning science and math with the award-winning PhET
simulations! Whether understanding atoms, exploring energy, or
mastering multiplication, there is a sim for every learner. Perfect
for at home, in class, or on the road, this app delivers all PhET
HTML5 sims (over 75 sims) in one easy-to-use package.
Developed by experts at the University of Colorado Boulder, PhET sims
are used by millions of students every year. The PhET iPad app
delivers these exclusive features:
- Offline play: learn on the bus or at the park without a WiFi
connection.
- Multiple languages: app translate in many languages (great for
bilingual learners).
- Favorites: pick your favorite sims and create your own custom
collection.
- Automatic updates: get the latest HTML5 sims as soon as they are
released.
- Easy sorting: find the right sims for you.
- Fullscreen: maximize your screen real estate for optimal sim
exploration.
PARENTS: Engage your child in science and math discovery.
TEACHERS: Your favorite HTML5 sims at your fingertips, even without
internet access.
ADMINISTRATORS: Optimized for school use, so your teachers will be
seamlessly up to date.
STUDENTS: Tell your parents there’s an exciting app for learning
science and math.
Note: The app does not include PhET’s Java or Flash sims. In addition,
although we are currently working on improving the accessibility of
our sims, most of the sims included in this app do not include
keyboard navigation or screen reader access. As accessible sims become
available, they will be updated within the app.
This app has a cost of $0.99. Proceeds from the app support the
development of more HTML5 sims. On behalf of the PhET team and the
students whose lives you have helped improve — Thank you!
PhET Simulations is available for Apple and Android devices.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 12.0 or later on Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and Android version 5.0 and up on your Android device.

Tech Tip #1: Increase Student Interactivity When Using PhET Simulations
PhET simulations are free, online interactive simulations for teaching
and learning science. The simulations emphasize visual models, ncause-and-effect relationships, and multiple representations.
While the simulations are effective when used as a lecture
demonstration, the impact of these demonstrations is greatly increased
when students are given the opportunity to interact with the
simulations. While students can interact with the simulations on their
own computers in a class or lab environment, there are also several
ways to encourage inquiry when the teacher is the one controlling the
simulation.
Learn more in the article found: HERE.
Tech Tip #2: PhET Balancing Equations Simulation
Kristin Moon Science brings us a great YouTube video showing how the
PhET Balancing Chemical Equations simulation is a great tool at your
disposal for helping your students understand how (and why) to balance
chemical equations.
Learn more by visiting: HERE.
Tech Tip #3: PhET Science Simulations
Simulations allow students to have a concrete idea of concepts that
PhET simulations are free simulations on the topics of math, physics,
chemistry, biology, and earth science that are useful for students of
all grade levels. They are created by the University of Colorado in
Boulder.
