Education Student seeking advisors help

Hello, I am a Elementary Education student at Central Michigan University and I am completing an assignment on how to use the Learning Center as your e-text.   I need to talk to an online advisor and ask them one thing that an online advisor can do for me as a pre-service teacher using the Learning Center resources.  So if there are any Online Advisors that could answer that question for me I would really appreciate it.

Hi Kaitlyn,

Brooke had asked a similar question last night and this was my response to her:
The Online Advisors are an amazing group of supportive science teaching professionals who also use the learning center. They know the learning center well and can help you find resources you are looking for around a certain topic. For example they may monitor several forums and be able to connect you to a particular discussion thread that had taken place in the past but is relevant to your current needs. Hope this helps!

Hello Amanda, I just joined the learning center for an e-text as well. I will be teaching 9th/10th grade biology. Is there a tutorial I can watch to best utilize the learning center? Thank you

Hi Shannon, You are reading my mind. I am actually in the process of creating a set of tutorial videos for how to best utilize the learning center. The first one approved and published is the profile video. Here is the link: https://learningcenter.nsta.org/help/?a=videos or you can follow the "Help" pathway. Other short tutorials I am working on that will be coming soon are how to build your library of resources and share your collections and developing your Professional Learning Plan through the Learning Center. Thank you for asking through the forums!

Hi Shannon, While we work on the "How To" videos that Amanda mentioned, you may also watch the web seminar archive found on the URL below. The program provides an overview of the NSTA Learning Center. http://learningcenter.nsta.org/products/symposia_seminars/NSTA/webseminar54.aspx Take care, Flavio.
