How are RVGS students using material?

How the course material is used:

They are told in advance what classwork is coming up and they are expected to view the corresponding material on the website, following all links they come across.

They are encouraged to follow any links on these sites, or to use the VA Tech "Other Resources" or "Yahoo" to look for other sites that would have information on the topic of interest.

They were given a list of a few sites at the begining of the school year to help them get started .

As an example, before we began talking about light and it's associated properties and what this has to do with electrons they were to view the notes on Electronic Sturcture of the Atom.

This same procedure was expected with the up-coming laboratory experiments. A packet containing the first nine experiments was given out at the beginning of school and a second packet containing the rest of the experiments for the year was given to them in January. I have added extra information in the form of graphics, pictures, and links to VA Tech to some of these experiments.

It is quite apparant on lab day which students have gone to the experiment on the web and which have not.
