Knowing all the ways that our members are involved in education helps us get closer to meeting the needs of our audience. It would be great on your My Page if you would add a short bio in your Text Box.

It's great that you've already started posting comments - I'm sure that Tom will get back with you soon. We have quite a few groups that you might want to join also.

I want to point out that we've got lots of resources for middle school math and science educators - look at the left side of the Main page - Math and Science Resource Guides, Diigo lists, and project blogs where we highlight exemplary online math and science resources and the research that is going on at the polar regions.

I also wanted to invite you to participate in tonight's TechTalk - Wikis in the Classroom at 7pm EST. If you can't make it, the archive of the recording and resources will be on our Webinar Archive page.

You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. We're going to cover everything from content knowledge to pedagogy to technology.

Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Welcome - Kim
