Off The Grid

We’re off once again. Trying to contact me, or one of my little band of students, in the coming week will be next to impossible. We’ll be completely off the grid. We’ll be far from the pace that guides us in this country today. We’ll be far from conducting “school” in…

Online Learning Networks in Science - An Interview

In keeping with the concept of using my blog as not only a synthesis of what I think, but also of what I do, I add this post. Last week I recorded a telephone interview with the folks at natureEDUCATION on the topic of online learning… Continue

The Synapse Builds Partnership

A couple of years ago a few of my digital friends and I brought this space to life: The Synapse. A week later I wrote about it here. The site derives its origin directly from a frustrating discussion in the Twittersphere between biology instructors of many… Continue

She Might Be Jackson Pollock

Prepare for awesome. Whatever it is you do for that… do it. I have no idea what you may have thought of They Might Be Giants prior to this post. If you are unfamiliar, prepare for awesome. You are hereby twice warned.

What does the scribble drawing above have in common with the video below? Today's post is a closeup look at a toddler's handheld digital learning experience. This experience is a fun little mashup of content from TMBG… Continue

It's not the 18 minutes

Passion

I implore you to take a few minutes of your day to check out a rather passionate professional, Princeton Professor of Molecular Biology, Dr. Bonnie Bassler Ph.D. Dr. Basler's 2009 TED talk is worth watching. If you are a biology teacher, the content is crucial. Even if you just happen to be interested in the world around you- then this talk is for you. It… Continue

It's an exciting world where a bunch of you "science geeks" can interact from half way across the country for the betterment of your craft. If you're like Nash, I'd love to "steal" you (to use Sean's line) to my school.

As always, well done, Sean.

At 4:46pm on January 8, 2009, Connie Weber said…: Thanks for the greeting! And an exciting adventure it promises to be! Great idea. I'm excited about sharing resources and ideas. Next year will be great for evolutionary stuff, with it being Darwin's 200th birthday. Can't believe the good sites that are coming out on evolution these days. Wow! (It used to be a hard hunt to find anything good at all.)
Yes, let's share riches!

This is my 4th year teaching AP and I am always looking for new ideas. My husband is a teacher at Appleton North, Ross Buchinger?
