I was really frustrated with this assignment. I really couldn't understand all weekend what was frustrating me so much. However, today, when I stepped back from it, I realized why. With most of the science learning materials that I was looking at, I had to download something. That was the whole problem! A lot of materials required extra time to download, thus they were not user friendly. Physics and chemistry were the most frustrating.
When I found Biological animations and tutorials and I thought I struck gold. The link was easy. The tutorials were to my alternative students level. The colors are magnificent. Some tutorials have subtitles or written dialogue along with sound. I think this is important as students tend to get lost in the monotone voice. I was a little disappointed because I had already covered scientific method and evolution but I could you the tutorials to refresh memories before the semester final. Many of the tutorials will be beneficially in the future such as: meiosis, mitosis, cellular respiration, and Mendel's experiments. They even included a Mistakes in Meiosis tutorial that will answer questions on genetic disorders.
I really love the colors, the ease of using and the fact that many of quizzes to test my students. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Dylis, This is a great resource that you found. Your description shows that it matches your needs quite well. I would like to see more analysis based on the requirements on the Session 2 Share page. You have touched on some of them, but should elaborate on them more. In the Effectiveness section, there are several questions that you need to consider adding information to your blog for.
