– Computer connected to an LCD projector
– Interactive whiteboards
– Televisions with scan converters
– Computer labs
– Libraries and Media Centers
– Mobile carts with laptop computers
– Student “stations” and “centers”

Teaching Strategies to Consider
Determine prior knowledge with a pre-activity assessment. Use assessment results to assign appropriate media to individual students.
Create “investigative teams.” Have students work in small groups on Virtual Labs or Explorations to develop testable questions, test their hypotheses and record results.
Connect your computer to a projector and use Explorations or a video clip as presentation tools to kick off a lesson.
Pose questions or prepare thought-provoking “lesson starters” before viewing media to actively engage students.
Assign Reading Passages that reinforce concepts and provide background information.
Save time by saving your favorite resources to folders within My Content.
