PreService Biology Teachers at KU or anywhere else

Public Group active 5 months, 1 week ago

This is an online meeting place for pre-service biology teachers. UKanTeach students and students from KU’s school of Education GLP program have developed an informal organization to explore biology teaching resources, living organisms in the classroom, field experiences, laboratories and professional involvement. Students from other institutions are welcome as are veteran teachers. Mostly this forum will serve as a starting point–an organizational tool for the students. We hope that the group will generate KABT BioBlog postings of their experiences that will serve as a resource for all new biology teachers.

    We did the floating disk assay today in a 42 minute 9th grade general biology.
    Students all (just barely) had data at the end of the period. They were did not have time to draw graphs and we were not able to talk about the ET50 number but during the timing phase of the procedure I was able to circulate to some lab groups and…[Read more]

      That is cool William…Glad you got it to work out. 42 minutes is a stretch—if only you’d had 5 more minutes.

    Here’s a list of resources I got from Brad. I needed to type up a resource list for a class so I just used Brad’s suggestions. Anyway it’s the site, and what I thought of it (I have only spent a limited amount of time on each site, so bare that in mind). If you have any you would like to add please feel free!

    Hi guys I’m in the process of getting all of my notes typed up. I will post them as I get them finished. Remember these are just my notes! Here’s what I have from our Floating Disk Photosynthesis day I didn’t type out he procedure or anything because that is posted in lots of different places.

    I propose that you use this thread to discuss organizing this group. Name suggestions, mission statement ideas, officers, and such. I’ll create a separate thread for Program Scheduling.

    To become an official student org. we will need to have three officers and a mission statement.

    This group met for the first time, today. I’m sponsoring the group and was a bit long winded but the students involved are enthusiastic about exploring and developing biology teaching resources. The group has decided to meet once a week on Tuesdays at 12:30 in Haworth 2031. Next Tuesday’s meeting will feature Wisconsin Fastplants and the…[Read more]

  • Kim Foglia
    We lost a great biology educator, Kim Foglia on Jan. 4th, 2011 after a long, dignified and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.  Back in 2009 a number of AP Biology teachers got together and worked hard to establish an award from NABT, sponsored by Pearson, Benjamin Cummings, recognizing Kim’s unprecedented contributions to the AP Biology teaching commu […]
  • World’s Biggest Demo
    All right, I confess.  I love cooking shows.  I can’t resist them.  As I enjoy cooking myself, I find it inspiring to watch well trained and creative food gurus work their magic.  How exactly do they hold the knife?  In their estimation, how much is a “handful”?  What pots, pans, and kitchen gadgets do they […]
  • Participatory Media Workshop at #NABT10
    On Friday, at the National Assocation of Biology Teachers meeting in Minneapolis, I gave a workshop on Participatory Media. The session was designed to introduce teachers to participatory media tools through the concept of student projects.  That is, what are students in biology courses across the country, doing with these new web 2.0 tools?  In […]
  • A Social Media Experiment at #NABT 2010
    For those of you attending the NABT conference in Minneapolis this year, you might have noticed this card (above) in your bag of goodies from the registration booth.  The card urged anyone posting content related to the conference to add the identifying “hashtag” #NABT10 to their postings. A hastag is a short character string, preceded […]
