MIMEO white paper regarding using technology to differentiate instruction

This website has many model eliciting activities and includes all teacher and student resources.

If you are looking for a virtual group that is focused on the first 5 years of practice check out this one hosted by Edutopia. The New Teacher Connections group " . . . is designed to allow new teachers and veterans alike to connect and share that sense of community that is so important in the first years." I think this is a fanatastic "brick" that should be used when building the first layer of "your PLN wall." I love metaphors

This post suggest five educator "Be-Attitudes" related to being a connected educator. This 5 "be attitudes" are directed at new teachers. I am interested in what people think of this "Be-Attitudes."

Lesson plans written and submitted to AskERIC by teachers from the United States. Activities, free materials, fact sheets, and math lesson plans.

Wolfram is a reliable site for more/alternate definitions and explanations of math concepts. It includes some higher level math information as well.

Math explained in easy language, plus puzzles, games, quizzes, worksheets and a forum. For K-12 kids, teachers and parents. The appearance makes it look like it's for a younger audiende, but some of the content is a nice suppliment to High School material.

The Biology Corner is a resource site for biology and science teachers. It contains a variety of lessons, quizzes, labs, web quests, and information on science topics. You can find lessons related to biology topics in the links listed under "topics" on the sidebar. Topics include: Ecology, Genetics, Anatomy, Cells, Scientific Method, and Evolution.

Additional teaching resources presented here include: minds-on discussion/worksheet activities, games, and web-based activities for learning and review overviews of important biological topics, including major concepts, common misconceptions, and suggested learning activities. Some tips for chemistry

Free Biology Lesson Plans Lesson Plans Inc. is an online warehouse of lesson plans that were created by our team at Lesson Plans Inc. or teachers all over the United States. The majority of the lessons were designed for high school science teachers, but we have many middle school, and elementary school lesson plans.

Check out the videos. I think these would be great for students who need more time to process. I have some issues with the videos but they are great models of what can be done.

Math education has not kept up with technology--especially with Web 2.0 tools, which have the potential to transform and expand learning beyond the classroom and into kids' social and recreational lives. What can be done, and what free resources are available to educators to help make a transition possible?

Web 2.0 technologies are used to support the development of science content and evidence-supported argumentation construction in high school chemistry classes. I analyze video-podcasts, delicious.com tags and resources, individual essays, and

Why You Should Give Edmodo A Try by Steven Anderson Recently I attended the North Carolina Technology In Education Society's (NCTIES) Annual Conference. Each year it gets bigger and bigger and we try to find more and more ways to engage with the attendees to make the conference more meaningful and to carry on conversations beyond just the sessions.

By Laura Turner This is a continuing series on Web2.0 and other web-based tools for educators. This information is specific to math educators, but there is some crossover into science. Math educators will find a large number of useable interactive companion web sites for the teaching of math concepts and skills.

By Laura Turner The following web2.0 sites would be useful for science educators at the high school and middle school level. Some would also be appropriate for higher elementary grade levels. There are many new 'tools' or websites that take advantage of the higher speed and bandwidth of today's Internet.

Here is a listing of interactive tools for teaching chemistry concepts. I did not check it out but it might be interesting.

Science news podcasts from the American Chemical Society Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions is a series of podcasts describing some of the 21st Century's most daunting problems, and how cutting-edge research in chemistry matters in the quest for solutions.
