We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks (were you able to participate?), 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

Welcome to MSP2

How cute! Well, you know your way around Ning. So, what other hidden expertise do you have? Do you teach math? Science? Do you work in education in another capacity?
I would like to encourage you to explore the site, join groups, and add to discussions. The site is growing and as we get more members, we have more to share.
If you need any help or would like to see something added, just let us know. We are here to help you.

I'd be curious as to what prompted you to join MSP2. Echoing Jessica's welcome, please feel free to jump in, contribute, post, comment, share, ask questions.

Again, welcome,
M

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

Right now there are three groups - Science, Math, and Integrating Technology - I would encourage you to join one or more and start a conversation. Are there any specific topics or issues you would like to see addressed? What do you teach besides science?

Again, welcome!
Jessica
