biology on the move

All I can say was where were these sites when I was taking Biology and Advanced Biology. I remember trying to get tutoring lessons from others who had limited knowledge and trying to maintain the standards of making A's and B's on the homefront. I chose this site becasue of the catchy name of Scattergood Biology. This site has the sloggin of studying the world around while given valuable addition to the classroom experience. This is site describe class assignments, class resources, links, calendar of events, and other features that can assist students and parents from being informed about what is taken place with what is going on the the class, review to help, challenges to go beyond. I think this is a good site to pattern one's lessons online with. Especially since all information and resources are available at one's finger tips and it seems as if no one gets left behind. This blog is communication between students, teachers, and others who are not affliated with the class. This is surely a site that I would recommend fellow educators to take a look at. The address is http://bb.uwa.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_id=_2_1&url=%2Fwebapps%2Fblackboard%2Fexecute%2Flauncher%3Ftype%3DCourse%26id%3D_22113_1%26url%3D.

  1. Everything has changed. Biology used to be disecting frogs and baby pigs. Today it encompasses so much more. Yes there are some wonderful sites out there to be ultilized and yes they offer great activities as well. Communication was generally done during class period and class period only. Now there are opportunities that allow teachers and students to collaborate with virtually anyone. Three thumbs up for technology advancement!
