4th week post

I just finished reading the article "Minds on Fire" by John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler. I found some really interesting science websites that I would like to try out with my high school science classes. The one I am most interested in is a site that takes electron scanning microscope images of insects that students can send in to a university. The site is http://bug.scope.beckman.uiuc.edu/. I took an electron scanning microscope picture of a fly when I was in college and I was so amazed that I kept it an saved it in a photo journal that I have :o) I am excited to be teaching at a time where there seem to be endless possibilities to become a more effective teacher and endless ways to try to reach my students and their interests.
