Teaching Tip on 'Volcanoes in the Solar System Pictorial Tour'
No full textI think that what kept me interested and following this page as best as I could, was following the page numbers. Looking at the page numbers allowed me to stay focused on one page at a time, and I would record what information I learned page by page, with each link I visited that was connected to that page. I would also enlarge the pictures to see them more clearly because they are very detailed and interesting. Lastly, I would suggest always looking at the advanced information instead of just the beginner's because the information is not too overwhelming, and it may be exactly what the viewer is looking for.
Teaching Tip on 'Fundamentals of Physical Geography'
No full textI can only suggest this site be used as reference along with the regular class room text. I did notice differences between the text I use and some facts on the site. It made me go back through and reference. As with everything else on the web, don't take everything as blind fact. Sometime students have trouble accessing the page based on their browser type. All in all, an excellent resource tool. I've used the study guide and exam questions as an in class quiz show. Even college students enjoy it!
