Click the above link to the Trackstar to learn about the Cardiovascular System. Identify structures of the heart, the path of blood, heart health, and more!
This is a great Trackstar!!! It was really informative, but it was also fun, too! I liked that you had a variety of sites that were focused on the heart and how it works, but I also liked that you put in sites that dealt with the health of the heart. I especially liked the Test Your Knowledge at the end. I tried it out, but I guess I don't remember much from Anatomy and Physiology. Great job!
Excellent job with your TrackStar! It was very appropriate difficulty-wise for a college-level anatomy course (in fact, it gave me memories of MY college anatomy course...*shudders*)...maybe a little too difficult for high school though.
The mix of interactive and informative sites would keep the students engaged, yet each activity had value in learning. The final "Test Your Knowledge" was not isolated from the rest of the TrackStar, but could be answered by completing #4 (Flow Through the Heart) successfully.
A note to you and Kalyn, you both had the same numbering issue, and all the questions became squashed together, so it would be a little frustrated for students to look at and re-write if this were an actual assignment. To fix this, you can type in an HTML code right into your TrackStar annotation. " " will create a page break and start a new paragraph for whatever you're writing so the questions will each appear on a new line. It's a small detail, but I'm into small details like that. :)
This was a really complete TrackStar, it gave the participant a great understanding of the cardiovascular system. I think it would work very well in an Anatomy and Physiology course, which is usually seniors. Nice job!

Hahaha it translated the HTML code instead of having it written...the code for a page break is (with spaces in between each character): < b r >
