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
