I love this article! After a lot of dead-end searches on technology in a science classroom, this one gives great examples of how technology is really enhancing the learning experience in a lab-based class. She tries to take advantage of everything from Livescribe to Google Jockey to Glogsters. Her examples are relevant and I look forward to shamelessly stealing her ideas.

This article is about using blogs in science and math class. David R. Wetzel offer some ideas for teachers on how to use the bogs correctly and how using blogs benefit the students. I liked the idea of posting " how to" videos on the classroom for math problems.

Great article, Jennifer. So many of our math and science teachers post short videos on their websites to show students/remind students of the steps. You'll learn how to do this, also, this month.

This video is about using technology for science education. One program is an after school program named Universe Quest that uses game building to teach girls astronomy. Another is a cyber lab that measures cell phone radiation with Geiger counters in Australia. It also includes augmented reality to find out how changing environmental laws might have impacted global warming. Th technology has allowed students to take learning into their own hands and gives them access to equipment that they otherwise would not have.

Love the idea of real life problems and technology. Great find!

This is a great blog of easy-to-implement ideas to integrate technology into the classroom. It covers math, science, english and learning in general. It's really worth a look.

I love the Blooms taxonomy posters! Great ideas in this blog for sure!

This article explains how scientists can use twitter. It talks about how important twitter can be for scientists. In addition it discusses ways twitter can be used by scientists. I found this interesting because science is not only a passion for me but it is one of the subjects I hope to teach someday.

This is an amazing resource for Social Studies teachers. There are archives for many podcasts by professionals pertaining to the social sciences in education. Definitely a site to revist and spend some time listening to the podcasts and becoming familiar with some very knowledgable people in the field.
