Looking for a Few Middle School Science Teachers to Help with a Last Minute Research Project

I know school is almost over, but there is that last week or two in June when it's pretty quiet. Could you take the time to help us with a quick, e-book research project? We're using standards-based curriculum and it shouldn't take more than a class or two. The topic is also a really important one for students heading out for summer vacation. If interested please email me and I'll give you the details. Thanks so much.

Hi Aimee - Do you see the embedded link in the post? I'm always wondering if things are working or not. I will see what I can do about teachers to interview - how long is the interview - are there any incentives? Kim

Teachers interested in the Science of Alcohol

I am working on a project with AAAS for middle school parents, teachers and kids to explain the science of alcohol, as a way to convince kids not to drink young. Here is the link to our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Science-Inside-Alcohol/33451484521. Please become a fan and share any information or comments that you have. Thanks - Aimee

We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, 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

I'll need your NSDL user name to allow you to blog on ExpertVoices. Thanks, Kim
