"-FINAL REFLECTION- After our study over evolution I feel a little more comfortable with the subject, although there are still many aspects of evolution that I don't understand. With all of these theories or ideas floating around in the…"

"At first I thought Darwin's idea was the main one for evolution, but now I realize there is more to evolution than what Darwin said which makes things way more complicated. I also realized how many people think they understand evolution and yet…"

"My first thoughts on evolution before instruction, were evolution is change in something over time to better adapt to its environment. I didn't write very much because I could only think of Darwin and his theory. When we got the packet with the…"

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
