TEACHING TIPS FOR THE BIOFLIX INSTRUCTOR ANIMATIONS The BioFlix Animations are designed to provide instructors with effective, “movie quality” 3D animations that capture students’ attention andinvigorate classroom lectures. 3-minute animations bring essential and difficult-to-teach biological topics to life. Accompanying PowerPoint® slideshows provide key animation screen shots, with labelsand narration scripts included to help prepare and guide lectures. Note: It is recommended that these animations be played directly through your computer’s default media player (Windows Media Player,QuickTime for Windows, or Mac QuickTime Player). The media player controls will allow you to pause, stop, and rewind the animation to facilitate review and discussion. TIPS Walk your students throughthe PowerPoint® slideshow so they become familiar with the cast of characters and the overall process. The narration text is in the Notes section of the presentation for you to refer to if needed.You can play the animation with the narration on, or you can turn off the narration and describe the animation yourself. Pause the animation frequently to explain the process and ask students questionsabout what they’ve just seen and what will happen next. Encourage your students to go to the BioFlix student tutorials on the textbook’s website. For each topic, they can interact with the followingitems on their own or in study groups: o o o o o o Slideshow Animation Tutorial Study Sheet BioFlix Quiz Link to e-book

As a further incentive to go to the BioFlix student tutorial, you canassign the BioFlix Quiz to your students. If you create a class, their scores will be automatically recorded in a gradebook (if available with your textbook’s website). See the registration instructionson the log-in screen of your textbook’s website for more information.
