Steve,
Things have been really busy here. Just 4 weeks of school left. I wanted to put an idea out there to see what you thought. I will be presenting in Quebec in July and the IB Conference of the Americas and thought if I made cards publicizing t…

Here is a group for those of us who teach science and are using/want to use Ning in our classrooms.
Hi Jennifer,
Get as many people to join as possible. I was excited to hear about your puff mobile because I have been thinking of doing something similar for the 6th graders but haven't found the resources. I was wondering where you get the wheels.…

- Hi! We had about 240 6th graders last year. I think we will have more next year. Online collaboration sounds great!

We are currently working on the first product demo, which should be done in a month. We expect to have a product in actual middle school classrooms by the fall!
I hear your concern about personalizing the learning experience while not adding any more time to teaching overhead. Many of the assessment and tracking tools a teacher would have available to them are not something that would need to consume any of their time for the tool to still function properly. Many of the benefits of using this system exist if teachers do nothing more than make a new "activity" for each assignment they have and associate that with a given goal, which we can provide through the state standards or in some other way. I hope this isn't too confusing. In a month or so this will be a lot easier to represent, since visuals will accompany the description.
Thanks for getting in touch, I will contact you once we have more to show,
Marco Morales

- Hello! I have about 115 6th graders this year and Jennifer has about the same amount. If we can't get anything going for this year, maybe we can at least get some stuff set up for next year.
