NSDL Web Seminar Series Begins September 20th!
Find new resources, meet teachers across the country virtually, and learn from experts through the convenience of your desktop! NSDL joins the NSTA Web Seminar Series once again for the 2007-2008 school year with a full lineup of fascinating speakers and topics. From subjects including careers in science to evolutionary biology, these free, 90-minute live seminars straight from your computer connect you live to NSDL’s experts in education and research. They’ll also show you featured digital resources for the classroom from the NSDL Collection.
The series begins on September 20th with Sarita Nair-Pillai, Project Director at the Education Development Center, and will feature resources from The Fun Works http://thefunworks.org , a digital resource library designed to encourage middle school students to explore math and science careers. The site explores careers that have real-world connections to art, games, music, sports, and other things that interest kids. What does physics have to do with how Venus Williams holds her tennis racket? What does designing video games have to do with ratios and proportions in algebra?
The Funworks was designed by, for, and with youth. Over 400 young people around the country participated in the design and development of the site, including an 8 member youth co-design team.
This seminar is designed for teachers of grades 6-9. Seats are limited. Register for this free seminar or other seminars in this Fall’s series:
