Landmarks for Schools
Through my books, I try to provide a mix of vision (a new story about teaching, learning, and schooling in the 21st century) and practical techniques for helping learners. The methodology is to learn by working the content -- becoming information artisans . The first book, Raw Materials for the Mind (4th ed), is a self-published exploration of technology integration issues, focused collaboration, digital content, and communication. My second book, Redefining Literacy 2.0 (2nd ed), was published by Linworth Publishing and it examines our notions about literacy within the context of a networked, digital, and info-abundant environment. My latest book, Classroom Blogging (2nd ed), was written not only to acquaint educators with the instructional potentials of blogging, but to help them understand the broader social information environment, which is still emerging.

MUSE - Earth-Moon-Sun Dynamics - Course Material 1D
Course Material 1D: Black Box As an introduction to scientific inquiry through modeling, students observe what happens when various amounts of water are poured into a "black box" and propose models to explain their observations. While any "black box" would serve the purpose of this activity, our students make observations of a box (24"x12"x8") that has a funnel in the top inlet tube and a long outlet tube at the bottom. When water is poured into the funnel, students observe that sometimes, water emerges through the outlet tube and sometimes it does not. Also, the amount of water that does emerge is not constant.

It starts very simply. A virus, just one, latches on to one of your cells and fools that cell into making lots more. Lots, lots more, like a million new viruses. This animation shows you how viruses trick healthy cells to join the dark side.Why is science important? - A collection of thoughts from leadin
