Once again I’m one day late to this whole Wednesday party,
so I’ll forgo my urge to blabber uncontrollably and get right down to the
techie, nerdy happenings of the school.
1)
Kathryn Wallace and her 10th graders
tried out a new online tool to help better understand how RNA and DNA
recombines, mutates, and do all the fancy stuff the two strands do in life. It
is a java based program called Molecular
Workbench and also has simulations for physics, chemistry, biology,
biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
2)
Starting next week, Marina and her class (with
the help of Cecilia) are going to blog with students from a school in Uruguay
using the quite hip and quite popular Tumblr
platform. We’ll link to it when it gets going (and by we I mean me).
3)
The PNAIS
Techschare Conference is happening this summer on July 2nd and
July 3rd. If you are interested in going, the early bird
registration ends on May 14th and the price skyrockets $45. Head to
their website for more information.
4)
Apparently Blended Learning is the hot new topic
out there – here is a good
introduction for those needing it.
Thanks and that is all I/what Ken provided to me have for
now.
