Science Apps and Tools

If you’re like me, there’s nothing you like better than trolling online to find new and interesting tools for student engagement.  But who has the time?  I’ve found some wonderful resources online from other bloggers and Twitter users.  Many of them have been real gems.  I’ve done my best to categorize and evaluate a few of my favorites below.   All are free or have free sections.  Be sure to check a site out before using it in class, though; you don’t need surprises!

Also, please help increase the usefulness of this list by adding your favorite online resources in the comments section as well.  You never know who is searching for just the right tool for a topic you have the perfect fix for.  Enjoy!
