Interactive Lessons and Learning
CK-12
CK-12 is a website that was designed to offer interactive learning experiences with STEM subjects ranging from subtraction to nuclear physics, plus extras like economics and SAT prep. Students will learn study skills and can track how well they're doing by looking at their quiz results over time. Some subjects, like anatomy, require straightforward memorization, while others, like life science, will encourage students to reflect on their world and how its pieces fit together. Information is broken down into very specific segments. Material on the site is well-organized and very accessible.
CK-12 is very committed to reaching kids with all types of learning styles, and the inclusion of video, audio, quizzes, and other tools may open doors for kids who are having trouble in the classroom. The site is essentially transforming a textbook into a multimedia experience, which is very exciting. There's another major bonus: All this content is free! Some subjects contain more content than others, but teachers are adding lessons all the time, and the site should continue to grow.
You - as the teacher - control a lesson's content. You can create student assignments...or even create a customized interactive "textbook" for your students.
Content in Subject....and Grade Level Specific
SIMULATIONS - Discover a new way of learning using Real World Simulations
PLIX - Play, Learn, Interact & Xplore a Concept
