What are Carbs, Lipids and Proteins?.. I can tell you!

"Structure and Function" is the very first thing I wrote down on my paper when we started our Chalk Talk; when I wrote this I really didn't understand how much I was going to learn over the next few weeks. We first started with writing down the word Capillarity, which is a property of water that causes water to rise above. We learned this to help us understand how water molecules work. Water is the base of… Continue

Virtual Classroom

Our work has certainly come a long way this year. In our short time working in this space (since only September 2009) we have attracted quite a bit of attention for our open approach to learning.  Your sharing, reflection and synthesis have earned two nominations for Edublogs awards in as many years.  Impressive is a good word.In the thread below, please reflect upon our use of free, open online tools to enhance our classroom this year. I'm always proud of how your work ends up being all about…See More
