Session 2B: Teacher Talk - High School

Are you up for some straight talk directly from a fellow high school science teacher who uses Labster? Watch this recording to get Emily Dehoff’s best ideas for how to get the most out of virtual labs. Learn the pros and cons of teaching high school science with virtual simulations. Find out how she really teaches with virtual labs, how her students respond, and what learning outcomes she’s had.

Session 2C: Teacher Talk - Higher Ed

Have you ever wondered how students actually learn from simulations? As a strong proponent of experiential learning, Dr. Amber Kool decided to conduct research to answer this question. What she discovered may come as a surprise.It turns out that learning may not take place during the simulation as much as after. And even more surprising, students are not the only ones who are impacted by simulations – instructors often find their roles shifting when they teach with virtual science labs. Find out more when Dr. Kool shares her findings about teaching with simulations as well as her experience assigning Labster to students at the Arizona College of Nursing.

Session 3: Behind-the-Scenes: Making New Science Simulations

Where do the ideas for a science simulation come from? Who thinks of them? What are the criteria that go into creating them? If you’ve played our virtual labs before, you’ll never look at them quite the same way again after this backstage journey into our development process.
