An open-source web application called “Neuron-to-Neuron Normal and Toxic Actions” hosts narrated animations of pesticide toxic actions and exists as a resource for instructors of advanced secondary or undergraduate biology courses. This article describes the features of the web application, reports student feedback on the animations, and details a cooperative learning procedure for instructors to use the web application in online learning environments or in-person classroom settings with technology support.}, number={9}, journal={AMERICAN BIOLOGY TEACHER}, publisher={University of California Press}, author={LePrevost, Catherine E. and Cope, W.
