This past week I have spend time exploring several of the websites that offer teacher tools or communities to share ideas.
http://thesynapse.ning.com/
The synapse is a space where biology teachers share ideas, photos, projects, and more. I found some of the resources helpful and others not at all. For example, if you browse the pictures on the site, many people have posted great images and diagrams that I could use in discussion, or lecture. Within all of those great pictures, there are also some random ones that people has thrown in the mix. The lesson plan tab within the website is great! The lesson plan area allows you to narrow and offers some different resources from a lot of the Biology websites I have looked at over the years.

Edutopia is kind of a cool website, I have gotten involved in some STEM training and planning this past year and have incorporated it into my classroom. This is a good resource as it offers a variety of venues for teachers to share information and ideas. Teachers and members can blog, post to discussion boards, or add videos. My favorite aspect of this website is the tab for integrated studies, which give you ideas about how to mesh science, math, technology. and engineering in meaningful ways. Also, several of the discussions are worth the time to browse through, people have interesting ideas and thoughts!
