    Article gives teachers tips and advice to motivate and encourage students in a culturally diverse classroom where science may not be a highly valued subject to students.

    I would use this in the classroom by having students actively do science and have them share what they found with the class. This would set a foundation to show them they can be successful in science and can motivate them to learn proficiency in science. Once they know they're good at something they'll put more time and effort into developing that skill.

    I liked this site. It's geared toward parents but makes suggestions of where to put the computer in your home to prevent teens from accessing inappropriate sites. It also gives you conversation starter tips on what to say to your children to keep them safe online. There are also videos you can watch about internet safety and the importance of keeping personal information private.
