Interactive Websites at their Finest

Today's class brought to light some of the best examples I have seen of interactive web-based activities. The virtual ChemLab and virtual frog dissections are some of the most valuable resources that science teachers can use, especially with the diminishing funds available for lab supplies. I also love the idea of using Google Alerts in the classroom. Although I would be afraid that I wouldn't be able to update and check it frequently enough during class, I think it's great to remind students that they can figure out topics of interest to them and obtain information to them as it is literally delivered to their computer screens. I am inspired to look for more ways to enhance learning via these virtual experiences.
