Free Technology for Teachers ScienceSimulations Enzyme Kinetics A piece of experimental research requires at least three kinds of work: planning of experiments, performance of the experiments and interpretation of the results. Only the middle stage involves laboratory work, and it is on this that traditional biochemical practical teaching concentrates.

The digital age of teaching: You dont need to be a digital expert Oxford University Press English Language Teaching Global Blog @OUPELTGlobal Shaun Wilden, a freelance teacher trainer and materials writer for OUP, gives us an insight into the role of the teacher in the digital age, as well as a reminder that you don’t need to know everything! Twenty-first century teaching is no longer about the four walls of the classroom. There was a time when a learner of English had to rely almost solely on what went on within those walls. But that was before the coming of the digital age. Any technophobes out there might be tempted to stop reading, but before you do, consider this. Why do we do this? While we will always strive to give our students the best possible lessons, we have to accept that the amount of time they spend with us in the classroom is limited compared to the exposure to English they can now get in their daily lives. In the classroom, we bring material to life and make it animated in a way that appeals to different learning styles. Do their teachers need to know where all of this digital content is and how it works?
