In the February 2012 issue of Science Scope (NSTA publication) Richard Moyer and Susan Everett wrote an article entitled: "Increase your v to lower your D." They developed a 5E lesson that can easily be used by teachers. The lesson integrates all of the STEM disciplines, while focusing on the core ideas of criteria and constraints in engineering and the practice of engineering design. It also is focused on the concepts of density and volume. BTW, Dick Moyer, in this article, teaches over at UM-Dearborn. Pretty well known in the area. From the Twitterverse: Don’t forget #midleved on Friday, 8:00 EST on Twitter! News: ISTE Virtual Presence ISTE opens a site on EduIsland9 to replace the four islands it once maintained in Second Life.

Socrates failed. He simply spent too much time asking them to think. A walk- through evaluation by his supervisor (undisclosed), determined that “ sometimes Socrates’s students meander through endless dialogues examining challenging questions that do not have one right answer.” Hopefully, he will be replaced or perhaps go through an intensive summer professional development program in Sparta. http://edge.ascd.org/_SOCRATES-FAILS-TEACHER-EVALUATION/blog/5822005/127586.html Students Engaged http://www.edutopia.org/blog/student-engagement-definition-ben-johnson 12 Must See Teacher Movies http://www.teachhub.com/top-12-must-see-teacher-movies Strategies: AMLE 2011: Events & Happenings:
