Center for Science, Mathematics, & Computer Education
This presentation will explore the underlying reasoning behind targeting student smartphones and illustrate examples of both computer simulations and formative assessment tasks created for the introductory astronomy classroom. Simulations animate multiple representations of astrophysical phenomena and contain embedded questions that can be easily assigned to students. The formative assessment tools include ranking, sorting, and labeling tasks and examples from astronomy and astrobiology developed with publicly available authoring tools will be shown. Please have your smartphone close by to experience this curriculum firsthand.
