April 22, 2016 Google has recently launched a new interesting website called Computer Science Education to help students learn coding and computer science. Google Computer Science Education provides a collection of powerful tools, resources and programs to engage students in learning about the wonders of computer science. It also provides them with a number of scholarships, internships, residences and several other resources to help them develop their professional and technical skills.

Science across the World brings an international dimension to science education in schools and colleges. Students gain a global perspective on scientific issues related to their personal lives, their impacts on the environment and the varying cultural impacts of science on people in different countries.

Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science. Like other design professionals - architects, engineers, town planners, programmers - teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession. Every day, teachers design and test new ways of teaching, using learning technology to help their learners. But their discoveries remain local. By representing and communicating their best ideas as structured pedagogical patterns, teachers could develop this vital professional knowledge collectively. Teacher professional development has not embedded in the teacher's everyday role the idea that they could discover something worth communicating to other teachers, or build on each others' ideas. Could the culture change? From this unique perspective on the nature of teaching, Diana Laurillard argues that a 21st century education system needs teachers who work collaboratively to design effective and innovative teaching.

In my opinion the most important thing is -given teaching will be treated as a collective design science- learning about how to apply new ways of teaching on our individual children. The newest would probably not always be the best and what worked in other schools elsewhere might not work in your own school. So let´s also stress how to individualize collective knowledge again and break it down to everyday usable teaching aid that we can evaluate.

I totally agree with your opinion about education, specially when you talk about collaborative work among teachers to help our students build knowledge .THank you

A few years old now, but still a great resource. Lots of videos from primary (and secondary) pupils carrying out innovative, interesting and fun science experiments. A great source of ideas and inspiration for your next science lesson.

Instructional Science promotes a deeper understanding of the nature, theory, and practice of the instructional process and resultant learning. Published papers represent a variety of perspectives from the learning sciences and cover learning by people of all ages, in all areas of the curriculum, and in informal and formal learning contexts.

Scientix collects and promotes best practices in science teaching and learning in Europe, and organises trainings and workshops for Science teachers.

A 5th grade Science teacher, Mr. Ramirez includes in his website lots of interesting links to science (electricity, magnetism, chemestry, engineering, NASA, rockets, tangrams) education-related resources including videos and games. General teacher's presentations to the main sections are available in English and Spanish.

Really interesting game based learning for cell science from Queen Mary University links in with research done at the university.

This site is an award winning, fun, interactive destination for kids to discover the exciting world of science through games and science tools.

Great videos on various Maths and Science topics

Interactive Learning Sites for Education - particularly for those science teachers out there

A new teaching resource containing eight light-related activities is now available to download from the ESA website. Combining science with art,
