Arlene,

The US Department of Education' 2010 National Education Technology Plan states that 'teachers may enhance their learning through blending the best of onsite PD with online PD...'

Many of us will spend time this summer attending workshops, conferences, or taking community college or university courses. All great onsite professional learning experiences that can be enhanced with online PD activities available in the Learning Center. We will talk about this on the seminar.

We will also share information about the PD Plan and Portfolio tool in the Learning Center that may be used to plan and document ALL professional learning experiences! Check the URL below for a brief (3-minute) overview of this tool.

How can I find out about grad credits in Inquiry Science ?

Hopefully I'm putting this in the right place. My plans for summer development are: -attend my annual APSI (AP Summer Institute) -train fellow teachers in using PASCO probeware and Promethean -I'll probably also incorporate some of the NSTA opportunities offered into my summer training as well. I've been lurking around the website for the past few minutes checking out what else is offered.

I am a career switcher, so I'm finishing my degree with a summer class this year. I'm also in a district-sponsored classroom management and engagement series. I will also be doing A LOT of unit planning because I might be teaching 6th and 7th grade!

It sounds like you will be very busy, Anne. I know you will find the Learning Center to be an excellent resource for middle school activities and ideas. Welcome to the profession! Carolyn

Hi James check out NASA ENDEAVOR FELLOWS PROGRAM I am a graduate of that accredited program. You'll receive STEM Certification from Teachers College, Columbia University. It is a superb program, one in which you'll enjoy and grow in your own inquiry based learning. good luck (you may use my name as a referral Netosh Jones)

Arlene, You have a great thread going here and everyone is so helpful. I used the url embedded in the message identifying the web seminar on Inquiry: The Inquiring Mind Wants to Know http://learningcenter.nsta.org/search.aspx?action=browse&text=&price=0&product=sciguide&subject=40&topic=0&gradelevel=0&qolid=&state=&subid=&gl=&docyear=&sort=Alpha but this did not direct me to the webseminar archive for Arthur's seminar. Is this the url that you mean? http://learningcenter.nsta.org/products/symposia_seminars/NLC/webseminarIX.aspx Thanks, patty
