I have visited NetFrog, which is an online simulation of the dissection of a frog. I think that this is a useful website as you are able to practice before you really do dissect a frog, or use the site instead of actually dissecting a frog. This can be useful as you may not be able to get hold of a frog to dissect, and it can be hard to have a class of students all dissecting a frog. As this site uses real images you are able to see the dissection and it is not a computer generated simulation as these can often be.
This site shows that online simulations are a good idea as pupils are able to learn via the internet, for example this could be set as homework, because it is unlikely that they would be able to dissect a real frog at home. Plus, all pupils would get to see the simulation in detail as it could be viewed individually on separate machines or viewed via a projector to the whole class.
