Dennis Pack replied to Desmond A. Hasty's discussion 'Computerized Chemistry Lab' in the group Connecting Content and Technology
HI desmond,
I haven't found a complete online Chemistry lab, but I did find a couple sites that are very handy. And, they are either free or not very expensive.
The Molecular Workbench has many good simulations for all areas of science. I…
Dennis Pack replied to Catherine Laguna's discussion 'Making Inferences and Critical Thinking' in the group Middle School Science
Hi Catherine,
Sounds like you are making good progress with your class. Don't see anything wrong with dropping the letter when they are being productive with what they are doing. Sometimes think we focus too much on quantity instead of…
Dennis Pack replied to Catherine Laguna's discussion 'Making Inferences and Critical Thinking' in the group Middle School Science
Hi Catherine ... sorry for the delay getting back to you. I was waiting for a notice that you had actually responded ... must check my settings again!
It sounds like things are on the improve. Amazing the influence of classroom chemistry. Sometimes…
Dennis Pack replied to Frances DiDavide's discussion 'Using Tablet computers'
Hi Frances,
I feel one area that is being underutilized is the interfacing of laptop/tablet computers with probeware to enable datalogging in science experiments. At JDM Science Education Consultants, we are focusing on providing elementary and…
Dennis Pack replied to John Garrett's discussion 'Attracting staff to PD' in the group Professional Development
It's no different than teaching the kids ... matter of fact, it points out clearly why so many kids don't achieve in subjects like math and science ... what we are giving them is what we think is useful, not what they really need.…
Professional Development
This group is intended for people who provide technology PD to teachers. I think there are a lot of resources and ideas about best practice that we can share.

Dennis Pack commented on Katie Mathews's group 'Connecting Content and Technology'
One "really cool, engaging way" to connect technology to science content is through the use of probeware, such as temperature and pH probes. Students can get so excited they don't even realize how much content they are using. And, I…

- About Me
- I am a retired teacher with 31 years of teaching experience. Having taught Science/Computing/Geography/Outdoor Education/Math in Oregon (USA) (7 yrs), Paraguay (.5 yrs) and South Australia (23.5 yrs), I have a wealth of unique experiences that I would like to use to help improve STEM teaching around the world.
To help realize this dream, I have partnered with 2 other teachers, with similar experiences, to form JDM Science Education Consultants.
We believe the improvement of STEM education needs to start early in a child's life, hence, we are focusing our efforts in elementary schools. But, we are willing (and able!) to help at all levels from K-18 and beyond.
