I loved Dr. Bang's presentation. She was so excited and passionate about it that it kept my attention. I wish I had thought of this question when Dr. Correia thought that I had raised my hand to ask a question. :-) Anyway, my question was has Dr. Bang actually had first-year teachers take part in this project? I don't think that was ever clear. Also, is this second life for science TEACHERS supposed to extend to second life for teaching their students? Either I missed that info. or it wasn't mentioned. Just wondering!
This is my take on Laurel's question: I think that Dr. Bang has been doing this kind of projects with teachers at several stages of their careers, with an emphasis on pre-service teachers. I guees that the ultimate goal is having new teachers bringing this innovation to the classrooms as resources increases and technology advances.
I agree that this is such an interesting topic and a great presentation. If new teachers bring this innovation into their schools, they can start a powerful movement. Some teachers might drag their feet, but if these new teachers inform, coach, and motivate, they can make a difference.
We are a mother and daughter who love cook, share and exchange recipes. We enjoy to try new recipes and prefect the ones we already know and enjoy! We were both born in Portugal and moved over to the Midwestern part of the United States, so our cooking style is eclectic and true to the original.
I just checked our seminar in itunes...great idea. Thanks for doing this.
