Welcome, Pat.

Glad to have you on board. It's encouraging to see that you found out about MSP2 from a friend or colleague. I take that as an endorsement of sorts.

Would be interested to learn a little more about you. For example:
- your role in relationship to STEM education or to middle grades education
- what topics you enjoy teaching
- what topics you find most challenging
- whether you are engaged in any other online professional learning communities
- what digital tools you use in your work or are interested in learning to use

Don't know if you've had a chance to look around the MSP2 site much. If not, here are a few things you might find interesting or helpful:

1. The Math and Science Resource Guides are standards-based resources for middle grades educators. The guides are wiki pages, thereby allowing folks to contribute to the resources. Please feel free to participate here.
2. We've been facilitating Webinars over the past months and record them for review and use after the fact. There are resource pages attached here that you are also welcome to contribute to.
3. There are several Groups to help focus and direct conversation. We also see these as places to encourage more one-to-one connection between professionals.

Again, welcome.

Hi Pat,

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 recently had the first meeting of our book club, 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!

Sarita
