Thank you so much! I agree with you on Flinn Science. They are great! I have redone the chemical room with help from their catalog. I have emailed them with questions a few times. I also like purchasing from them because the are in Illinois (like me). I am also looking into the smart boards that lap boards to add to my curriculum to make my class more hands on. Take care and I hope the rest of your school year goes smooth.

Are you using any science software that you really like. There is a grant out there for quite a bit of $$ that would allow me to purchase software. But, there is a quick turn around for this grant and I need to have things done by Tuesday of next week.

Hi Samccoy. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. Perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,

My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'e-learning and online teaching' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win a competition for startup funding on ideablob.com. You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Alyshia Olsen

Thanks, Sam -- my teaching and workshop partner and I asked one of our students to put it together for us. The image is our take on the butterfly effect mentioned in chaos theory and goes with our theme of 'Small Changes; BIG RETURNS'. It's very powerful to us on a number of personal and professional levels. --SueH

Hi Sam,

Sorry we didn't answer before. It's a long time since we didn't check our blog here in Classroom20.

Thanks for encourage us to keep working on our project. In fact, we have been working on the website for more than one year and now, we are ready to share it with the teachers, specially the foreign language ones.

I don't know if you remember, but our project includes short videos, long videos, vocabulary cards and a blog with activities, games and new ideas for foreign language teachers.

Please, visit us at : www.bablingua.com.

We hope you like it!


ps. We watched the youtube videos you sent us in the last email. We didn't know your friends before, but we think they are quite good!.

Wanna Share Cool Science Resources?

No matter how much we love the internet and our online experiences, we can still love the real world, in its basic nature. I know kids always enjoy learning Science and Math, especially when we are enjoying the teaching with confidence.

Do you like to share what you are working on in your science/math classes? Would like to meet other like-minded teachers who want to share with you? Come chat with us at TappedIN Math and Science K-20 monthly meetings.
