In my first year of teaching, I had some pretty impressive technology:
- an overhead projector with Expo markers
Yup. That’s it. Image may be NSFW.

That’s what we had to work with, and we made it work.
Now there are so many apps, personal devices, and services for teaching science. It’s hard to know what to choose.
That’s why the past year at The Science Penguin, we focused on digital teaching solutions. Here are 3 tips to simplify digital science instruction.
1. Use the same lesson formats again and again.
Once students learn to use Digital Inquiry or Digital Inquiry Jr., completing more topics will be a breeze. There’s less of a focus on using digital tools and more emphasis on the content.

2. Utilize Google Forms.
Google Forms doesn’t just have to be for assessments. Students can work their way through learning new content. Science Digital Vocab Lessons teach students content and check for understanding along the way. You can find out quickly if a student needs additional help or rushed through an assignment! Try a free sample lesson.

3. Use digital tools for direct teach.
Whether in the classroom or on Zoom, students benefit from learning from YOU! Your passion, knowledge, and questioning are so important. No app can replace what you bring to the classroom. During your lessons, students can take notes or read and discuss complex science texts.
