Community reviews for Edheads

Wish that the product did not include ads Students should work individually or in pairs Students will need to use headphones and teacher on-task monitoring should take place COPPA compliant but teachers should send home a letter to parents alerting them to the real life photos of real medical procedures.

It is a great tool to allow students to apply their learning in a related subject.

I like that it includes real photos they definitely add a level of authenticity to the content. The graphics and scenarios are engaging and interactive. The big downside is the inability to monitor student progress. Overall a great site for the exploration of science professions.

Overall this is great site for teachers. It can help improve your teaching by offering a variety of worksheets, projects, labs, hands-on activities and assessments across a number of math related topics. In addition you can create your own dashboard to reach out to other educators for help or advice. I really liked that you could access questions from other teachers and help them out and see how others have responded. It also provided a section that offered additional resources that you could use. All in all this is a great site for educators to use in the classroom.

EdHeads focuses more on science processes than on science content. This is great to help students see how science is done. It also helps kids to have simulated career experiences that normally would not be possible.

The students loved this and wanted to use this site for other units. Some of the depictions were for the elementary instead of the high school level.

Overall, I found the website to be age appropriate for middle school science students such as my 8th grade students. The students enjoyed the simulations and activities. The simulations and activities brought a world of exploration with surgeries such as a knee and/or a hip replacement to my students. The website has added some activities over the years which keeps students interested. One downfall of the website is that it is flash based and does not work on the iPad.

The website is great to expose students to learning and exposing students to STEM using different types of content. My students love some of the real surgery pictures. Great way to expose students to STEM careers.

It has a good introduction or review of simple machines, but it isn't really a fun game for older students. I think younger students might find it more fun and stimulating though. The EdHeads site is easy to navigate and has a lot of nice tools for teachers. I recommend science teachers investigate the different topics covered as an additional resource for your classes.

It is a great way to review, reinforce, and enhance student learning. The crime scene would be great for the Forensic Science classes to use.
