week 10 Screencasting

what I would like to explain is a good free website "Pinterest" that is similar to the Instagram, but it is ,in my opinion, more helpful and organized. when you register to this website you will find many categories so you can follow your favorites such as education, make up , fashion, and so on. "Users can upload, save, sort, and manage images—known as pins—and other media content (e.g., videos and images) through collections known as pinboards." here I show you how to use pinterest for educational purpose. the video deleted

A Lesson using Google Maps

I will assume that I am a microbiology teacher for high-school student in Kalamazoo.
my lesson is about the Microbial Diversity in Water.As an example, we will examine the South Haven Beach water. so, my students have to go to the beach and take a water sample from the same area and then, in school lab next day, they will discover how many kinds of microbes they will find in their samples.

I will use Google Map to help the students to do this homework. Because not all my students are familiar with the area, I put the best route they can use to go to South Haven Beach and also I determined the specific area I want them to test in this map: please zoom in until you can see the targeted area in black boundary
