Background information and directions for completing each activity | Help Sections are best read before students become involved in the interactive activity. They contain important background information and directions for working with the activity. You may want to print them out and read them with students before beginning. Alternatively, the sections are narrated. Students could work independently or in groups, reading on-line as they listen to the narration on the computer.
Printed Help Sections can also be used to review information gathered as students work with an interactive. |
