  • Finally I found the Science Chat #scichat on Tuesdays and the 6th grade teacher chat  #6thchat on Thursdays.  Both of those chats were full of like-minded teachers who had some basis in what I liked and wanted to learn.  Both are moderated by some pretty incredible people who are very dedicated to helping others learn...I give them all kudos and respect.

    Sheryl, I used spicynodes on my project for "Teach Like a Champion" and found it real easy. Thanks!

    I used Spicynodes for a project for "Metaphors and Analogies." It was very user-friendly. I think it will be a great program to have the students use to summarize math concepts.

    While this particular teacher's website makes my head spin, it does provide an idea of how I can make my own School World site more interactive as well as design my own site as a platform for students to refer to throughout a unit.

    Those of us who attended the Anita Archer summer workshop have tossed around the merits and challenges that this might have if we implemented this concept school-wide or even if individual teams incorporated it. It's worth a look to begin a discussion...
