Introduction to Energy on InterLACE (Online Platform)
In my lessons this year, I have utilized an interactive web interface called InterLACE, which is an ongoing research project conducted by the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach at Tufts University. The platform supports collaborative inquiry as students are able to respond and collaborate on posts. I appreciate that each student contributes to the forum, which allows me to pay attention to each students' thoughts on the content. Additionally, having the ability for students to upload videos, images, text, or drawings as responses has been a great asset to my SPED and ELL students.
