Morden Science units

So, here are a list of videos that are good for teaching some topics in high school science. They are all youtube videos, so if you don't have access to youtube, they won't work.

Grade 9

The first part of our unit is about Mitosis and Meiosis. These are both ways of reproducing on the cellular level.

Best video I have seen for mitosis. It is fantastic!

Last day of classes!

Hey everyone, this is the last post that will have something that I learned in classes...because it's the last day!! here is a link to my professional website with my eportfolio in it, if you're interested.

Today we learned about iTunes and podcasts. I thought this was interesting. I didn't know they were all free! I am definitely going to look through the store and see what I can use for my next student teaching.

I liked Mike's statement about the technology being great, but it can't replace good-old-fashioned great teaching. It can't replace good activities that you can do in the classroom.

Thanks for everything Mike, and to the class: it was a blast!
