Thank you Sarita for sharing this link. It's true that in the traditional approach to paper writing instruction, the student writes for the teacher only, but when a student publishes on a wiki the audience includes not just the teacher but all…

Our teaching methods here is so terrible! I was visiting London's museums and in each hall you could find bunches of students. I spent lots of time listening to their teachers! I may write about that trip later but what made me sure was that a teacher should be so creative in teaching and should not rely on paper and pencil at all! Students love to learn and will learn better differently!:)

Welcome to MSP2!
Is there anything I can help you with right now?
Do you have a favorite website or book for science fair ideas?
Would you like to contribute a tip or cool technology tool you have used?
Aloha!

Welcome to the MSP2 community! So glad you've joined us.
Have you had a chance to explore the site, yet? You'll find lesson ideas, digital resources for classroom use, and connections to current news items. Look at the left side of the Main page and you'll find Math and Science Resource Guides, Diigo lists, and project blogs to name just a few. You'll also see that we have some links in the MSP2 Resources box - Getting Funding, Favorite Blogs, and Freeware/Shareware. We hope that members of the network will help us add content to these pages.
We've had several Tech Talks recently - on Reading in Mathematics, Interactive Notebooks, Diigo, Moodle, Wikis, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link. You can also see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. We also have a book club that meets periodically, check out the Book Club Group for more information on that.
We're also soon to be adding resources for youth - a series of virtual learning experiences for students. So plenty more to come!
Please send any ideas or feedback you have our way, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
