Creating areas of 21st century technology for students seems to be something students are already to engage. Most students love to explore computers and what can be accomplished on them. I found two new exciting websites contributing to force and motion. The first website connects to previous information from this physical science course http://classroom.jc-schools.net/sci-units/force.htm#8 where there are opportunities to construct a roller coaster. However, I found many other areas to explore on this site such as a skateboarding video with force and motion information as well as STEM career information. I found where there are gradient and speed and velocity areas too. This is an interactive site with teacher lesson plans and activities available. The second site I found was from a high school website www.physicsclassroom.com/class/newtlaws/. by a teacher who has it interactive with animation. I found interesting and engaging. I will be able to incorporate it in my classroom. I found some power points and other demonstration type of websites that I will include at the bottom. However, I think we have been exposed to many good sites from this course we are taking.
I problem I may have in implementing these website is the new school I will be at will have limited access to technology in the classroom. There is no LCD in my room and only seven for the entire school. I will find a way.
