"I never really thought of completely learning from the Internet. All my other classes are textbooks, worksheets, and homework out of a book and on paper. But, in Biology, we can reflect and blog about what we learned. We can use sources outside of…"

Marcy Withrow replied to Erin Nash's discussion Biological Evolution - Final Ideas and Questions
"You're right about the rate we were all learning on. Everyone had questions and I know I learned a lot from what people asked. It was also cool how one question led to another and how evolution makes us ask a lot of questions. You had a very…"

Marcy Withrow replied to Erin Nash's discussion Biological Evolution - Final Ideas and Questions
"Yeah, that's what I meant. Every theory has to have scientific evidence, if not then it would only be someone's opinion. I forgot facts are proven, but evidence helps shows why a theory could be true. So, evidence is the best word to use…"

Marcy Withrow replied to Sean Nash's discussion Enkephalin on My Wrist

The Molecules Within You

What's hiding underneath your shirt? Have you taken a good look at what is on your plate? What kind of molecules live in your body? Simple everyday wonders turn into facts real quick. Many don't realize the reality of what they are feeding their stomaches. Yes, it may be growling, but no need to abuse it! Watching what you consume is easy if you give it the time and thought. The most important part is understanding it's structure and how it functions. With this information you'll be a pro at…See More

Marcy Withrow replied to Sean Nash's discussion What is Life?

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
