We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link.

You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. The next TechTalk topic is Using Wikis. We've got lots more topics to cover in the next few months - technology, pedagogy, content knowledge, all sorts of fun stuff! Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Kim

We've got lots of resources for middle school math and science teachers - look at the left side of the Main page - Math and Science Publications, Diigo lists, and two project blogs where we highlight lots of exemplary online math and science resources - Resources for Middle School Math and Science and Connecting News to the National Science Education Standards.

You also indicated Other when you registered - what Other are you? We want to make sure that this network meets everybody's needs - are you looking for anything specific? Are any topics or issues especially important to you?

We've had some really good discussions about integrating technology and the math group is quite active. We have another project that you might be interested in - Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears - Integrating Literacy and Science for K-5 Teachers. Truth be told - lots of middle school teachers use the resource too! Welcome - Kim
