"There was something novel and exciting about doing an experiment in Australia."

"[It was] cool to control a piece of equipment across the world over the Internet."

"I think [iLabs] are an enjoyable deviation from the everyday curriculum that we encounter, so we are allowed to do something new for a day. It is also very interesting to access the equipment in Australia."

"[iLabs] are more interactive and interesting than regular labs."

"I liked the visuals that were used because they helped me make sense of some of the things that were happening."

"I love the hands-on part - more like I could understand it because I was in charge of the data."

"It allowed me to do more tests than a normal class would not have time for."

"I think that the information and material learned in the iLabs are much more effective and easier to understand than in traditional labs."

"It felt like you were learning new information that would actually be helpful."

"iLabs seem to connect more with the real world rather than labs in class, and it gives me more practice with applying data to charts and analyzing charts, which is an essential piece of many successful jobs."

"It provides us with a better understanding of physics, science in general, and the scientific method."

"It was a unique learning experience, that I really had fun with. I enjoyed it."

"[iLabs] were interesting and fun and taught me a lot."

"[iLabs] are a cool new way of learning."

"It's a useful tool to do labs that aren't possible in class."

"It was fun and we could do an experiment we couldn't normally do in class."

"I think iLabs is an interesting idea and that it is highly useful to be able to have access to such technology and be able to perform such experiments even if the school lacks the proper equipment in the classroom."

"[iLabs] allows us to experiment with more things not allowable in school labs."

"I could spend as much time as I wanted on it."

"[iLabs] gave me freedom."

"I get to do it on my own time and really focus on one thing."

"It was convenient to do it in my own house and I got to do it when I wanted to."

"The Information is innovative and useful. A great way to improve students' understanding of the scientific method."

"[iLabs] reinforces the importance of good experimental design, gathering and graphing data and presenting findings to others."

"I think that [iLabs] brings a great connection to technology for students to use. It allowed students to be held accountable individually instead of in lab groups. It gave flexibility to the lab process."

"[iLabs] generate more student interest than standard labs. There are more opportunities to make connection[s] to real world situations."

"Students did [the lab] both in class and out of class. Due to freshman testing, getting computer time was not easy. So at home worked quite well. I like the idea of students being able to see that the educational line is not drawn at the exit from school."

"I think that [iLabs] brings a great connection to technology for students to use. It allowed students to be held accountable individually instead of in lab groups. It gave flexibility to the lab process."

"I think this is a great way for students to use real equipment and get real data. The canned experiments we often do make it look easy and predictable. What's next?"

"I and the students enjoyed working with real equipment."

"Many students were really turned on by the topic and the fact that they were doing some real science with real lab equipment."

"The students were strongly involved and it created a sense of purpose among students who are traditionally unsuccessful in science."

"[iLabs] is a great idea and I am so glad about being part of this project. This particular subject has a very strong connection with them [my students] and it took their attention."

"Many students were really turned on by the topic and the fact that they were doing some real science with real lab equipment."

"Excellent experience, I want to do more."

"The idea of iLabs is so very exciting. Although still very new, this has so much potential."

"You can really say that students are remotely manipulating lab equipment rather than running through simulations. That's a big plus in that area."

"We would love to provide our students with additional authentic lab opportunities in the virtual classroom. Because we are a virtual school, we are constantly looking for opportunities like this that allow students to participate in 'hands on' science."

"iLabs is the wave of the future in online labs."

"The curriculum was organized, interesting, and informative."

"This [Radioactivity iLab Curriculum] has a great general question that could interest any kid. I think this could be a great activity for almost any science class."

"I think it is a great curriculum. I hope to be able to incorporate it in our course and that all of our teachers will be able to teach it."

100% teachers who have taught the Cell Phone Radiation Curriculum using the Radioactivity iLab agree that this curriculum is useful for student learning, and 90% agree that it improved students' understanding of experimental design and analysis.
