Instructor+Page

Welcome to the instructor page.
This page is designed for instructors to get an idea of resources to use for their own instruction.

Biology links
The following are pages created using ning. These pages give great examples on ideas to help teach concepts to students. Many of these pages also have ideas on integrating technology into classes. Lastly, these pages are beneficial in allowing teachers to post questions, links and other materials to peers creating an environment for collaboration.

@http://thesynapse.ning.com/ This page has many topics covered in a biology class. Additionally, there are links to help teachers that have AP, IB and other advanced classes. Many of the categories have links to videos, collaboration with other teachers, and links to ideas for lessons. This page is very helpful in that there are many topics of discussion ongoing about best practice, great lessons and so on.

@http://mwsu-bio101.ning.com/ This page has many questions posed to instructors with replies from others. I feel this is beneficial because it inspires thinking of what questions are asked and you can see the replies from others. I would consider this a great tool to see what other teachers think about the subject, and what questions come to their minds as they answer them as well. The collaboration between others teaching the same subject to a great way to see what misconceptions students might have and quite possibly how to better explain concept.
