I was able to do some PD reading this week. I read NSTA express and found out about a food computer and citizen scientist programs that I may share with some students to help them with our independent projects. Data gathering sources may help students who are struggling.
Science Friday was about how to create sci-fi worlds and how they relate to our world today. It was interesting, but not really applicable to my situation. I loved the piece where Jane Goodall was interviewed, and I would love to go see the new documentary about her. I think it is only playing in a theater that is an hour away. I will have to wait until it is more widely available. The final piece was about baby talk and how the timber is important. I liked hearing all the updates about science in the news. The story that I found most fascinating was about the amount of soot on birds in museums. Researchers have found our environmental protections have been working because air quality is so much better than it used to be.
Truth for Teachers was 6 ways to stop worrying about problems before they happen. This was great for me because I am a worrier and it helped me realize how far I have come on my personal journey. I already used many of the strategies already. This was a great positive message to hear as I was going into another busy week.
We had a long weekend, so I tried to not do any school work until tonight. It was great to refresh a bit with some family time.
Fingers crossed that I will get a chance to do a full amount of PD reading and Twitter. I am so behind on #IMMOOC!
