    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.

shared by John Burk on 15 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • “I point to the following unwelcome truth: much  as we might dislike the implications, research is showing that didactic exposition of abstract  ideas and lines of reasoning (however engaging and lucid we might try to make them) to passive  listeners yields pathetically thin results in learning and understanding – except in the very small percentage of students who are specially  gifted in the field.” Arnold Arons (1997)
