  1. Using CD-ROMS in the Classroom Technology that Works!

  2. The CD-ROM should: Have high quality images and animations Align with State and National Science Standards and benchmarks Foster an appreciation for science and scientists to keep students engaged in learning Expand upon science concepts not normally explored in the classroom Dr. Gerald KrockoverPurdue University

  3. Let students explore and inquire with the CD-ROM …as a tutor …to introduce or reinforce concepts …as a lab station …as an assessment tool …a tool for students to use to check their understanding …to promote student inquiry …use the images on the CD-ROM for class activities…use for collaborative student learning opportunities …taken home for a home-learning experience Dr. Gerald KrockoverPurdue University

  4. The study completed by Dr.Gerald Krockover found that: Using the CD-ROMs in the computer-lab was not as effective as having students use the CD-ROM from computers in the classroom.

  5. WHY

  6. Equipment's Condition

  7. Scheduling the Computer Lab

  8. CD-ROMs in the Science Classroom Foster collaboration between students Serve as a stimulus to encourage class discussion Provide more one on one time with each student Support the curriculum as a supplement, reinforcing concepts, extending ideas Provide a vehicle to many and variousinternet sources and resources Meet a variety of learning styles via multi-media
