Welcome to MSP2!

There are a variety of resources available here, so I recommend you explore the site. Be sure to look at the resources on the home page. The NSDL site will take you to several sites that can help you in lesson planning, educational strategies, or opportunities to access other resources.

The more we all share, the more we all can learn. There is a wealth of resources here, and now you are a part of that too. The forums are a great collaborative tool.
If you have any questions, comments, or ideas to share, you can add those to the discussion boards and get feedback from others.

There are also events you might be interested in. Events are recorded, so if you miss a one, you can check out the recorded session and add to the discussion boards.

Let us know if there is something in particular you want us to address or topics and technologies you might want to learn about.

I am glad you joined us!

I wanted to tell you a little about MSP2 - we are using this NING network as a place where educators can connect with each other (through answers to profile questions and the advanced Members search) and also as a way to connect educators with exemplary resources and professional development opportunities.

If you look on the Main page - you'll see MSP2 resources in the upper left hand box - we have resource guides where we have sifted and sorted and contextualized resources on topics important to middle school math and science teachers, an archive of all of our past webinars, the ability to search the MSP2 collection, and pages of teacher and student opportunities and grants. Our newest resource guide is about Teaching With Trade Books and includes lessons for science AND math classes.

We have on the right side of the page our two project blogs - Resources for Math and Science and Connecting News. We also RSS feed the Free Technology for Teachers, Teach Engineering, and Science and Technology NYT blog feeds.

I know it is short notice, but our online bookclub is meeting this Wednesday, August 11 at 7pm to discuss Hanging Out, Messing Around, Geeking Out - it would be great if you could join us. Click here for more information.

Please don't hesitate to post a question or comment. We are always looking for feedback and new ideas for PD opportunities and people who would like to present. So glad you joined - Kim
