Very interesting.  BTW: Mazur also noted in our conversation that his years of experience on the Physics AP design committee made him less than enthusiastic about AP's.

This is a new blog started by a AP bio teacher. I figure it might end up having some useful things on it, but even if there's not content that is of immediate use, it might prove to be a good example of a way to use a blog in a classroom.

some great ideas for projects and ways of incorporating bioinformatics into the bio curriculum.

Interesting ebook on cell biology. I have looked at unit 1 and the assessment. Interesting way to review the subject if a AP Biology teacher or for more advanced students. How could this be used?

nice description of Millikan's experiment, plus photo of apparatus, and links to original paper. 

great lab idea-split a lab into experimentalists vs theorists. 

awesome paper on metacognition. Lays out a complete metacognative curriculum. 

Thanks for sharing this John! Looks interesting. I put it out on Twitter as well.
