Science Technology Resources
Posted: 3 Jun 2009 - 14:00 by Denise Krefting

There are many web based resources for science all over the web. I have put together a searchable database of web sites that you can use /share and hopefully add to. If you have any other sites that you use that I don't have added, please share them :) Together we can grow as a community. http://currweb.aea11.k12.ia.us:8080/URLCurriculumpage/Science.html

Teaching to Forget
Posted: 24 May 2009 - 14:00 by jstiles

I recently asked my newly-graduated son a question: "Why do ice cubes melt?" I had been thinking about my 9th grade science students working on a project that involved designing a container that would maintain an ice cube in its frozen state for as long as possible.

My son thought a moment, then said with a laugh, "Because of the heat."

"Yes, I know," I replied, "But how does heat make ice melt?"

High School Course Exchange: Boundless Learning
Posted: 27 Apr 2009 - 14:00 by Marilyn Hagle

By Marilyn Hagle HighSchoolCourseExchange.org

The idea for highschoolcourseexchange.org was conceived while thinking about how to make school wonderful for my children. They are seven and ten and dyslexic. Our local school district is small and rural. The elementary school is admirable, but the high school does not have much to offer. My children could participate in nearly any athletic team imaginable, but electives and fine arts are neglected.

International Schools: What Are They?
Posted: 26 Apr 2009 - 14:00 by Chika Wilms

By by Chika Wilms, Bangkok Patana School in Thailand.

Welcome to another cyberspace musing by this mind-wanderer. I've been teaching in international schools for the past 18 years. Prior to teaching, I was a student in three different international schools. So, I've already spent nearly a quarter of a century in international schools. Well, that gives me something to muse about...

Mobile Technology in the Classroom
Posted: 13 Apr 2009 - 14:00 by Denise Krefting

After reading the book Toys to tools : connecting student cell phones to education by Liz Kolb, I decided to see what tools are out there for the use of mobile technology in the classroom setting. Using technologies that students come to school with and always have seems like a win-win situation. Here are some of the tools I have found.
