No Organic bites out there?
With all the reading, perusing and posting on blogs this week it does seem to be a good tool to use with students too. In my differentiating instruction class we have talked about how blogs could be used to help student reflect and summarize. It i...

Hi Darrel, Good to hear you like my Ning format. I am not sure all the colors work together, but one thing nice about Nining is that it is fluid and you can change and add things. Give it a try.

They have online interactive activities for Earth Science and Biology. I have used the Drosophila activity to help students understand basic genetics. It is inquiry-based and students even have an online lab notebook.
Have any of you used this?
