Welcome to the tutorial ‘How digital tools can make your science lessons more attractive’. This tutorial is one of the products from the MASS project and shall serve as a resource for you and your colleague teachers to make science education more motivating and attracting to your students by using digital tools.

We are aware of the existing challenges in the field of education such as limited time and space. And of course the large number of students in most of the classrooms. In this tutorial we try to lower those barriers as much as we can by giving practical tips and tricks, ‘ready to go’ good practices and easy to implement tools and examples. sdfsd

This tutorial discusses the following types of digital tools:

Geo-media

• Geographic Information Systems

• Satellite Remote Sensing

Serious Games

(Apps for) Smartphones and Tablets

Social Media

Each chapter starts with a general description of the tool, followed by information about the didactical concept. Then we provide some practical tips about how to use this tool in your ‘everyday’ classes, with good practices, more tips and tricks and in the end some links you can visit to learn more.

The given examples for classroom implementation are always tagged with one or more of the following symbols, each representing a certain science subject. In this way it will be visible at a glance which sections are the most interesting ones for you.

Symbols that are used in the tutorial

	Biology
	Chemistry
	Geography
	Mathematics
	Physics

 

The tutorial is also available in pdf format. You can download it here. 

 

Thanks and good luck!
