Activity 2: Interactives <<Back
The use of interactives enhances a student's understanding of concepts by visualizing subject matter, engaing students in content, and providing continuous feedback. An "interactive" is any activity that asks the student to click on, add, move and/or manipulate content within the activity to achieve a specific goal. Online games and simulations are examples. Generally speaking, these activities are content and topic specific, so the key is knowing where and how to look for them.
