Using Lapse It for Android
Students at Saint Francis Xavier school in Winooski used Lapse It, a time lapse camera app to demonstrate the mitosis process. Mary Ellen Varhue, the middle level science teacher at SFX explained, “in the past this would have been a poster project. Using Lapse It gave students a much better appreciation of the dynamic nature of mitosis as a process that moves from one phase to the next smoothly.”
Here are some of her thoughts on student learning, the app, and ideas for next time.
