Building Student Profiles

How would you describe your workplace science students? Are they motivated to learn? What do they respond to? Your students are individuals, yet they share many common characteristics. Identifying these common threads can help you plan your course to meet their needs, and also help resource developers create the most intuitive and effective classroom materials possible.

Building Student Profiles is a blog function of the Environmental Science Interaction community. We'd like you to share… Continue

On Monday when you hosted a webinar, did you save it so we can archive it? Not sure what the others thought, but might be helpful as a tutorial? Yes? No?

By association, I think I'm smarter (than I really am)
It's obvious I'm not smarter than my lovely wife, but thanks for making me feel even worse.

Hi Aerin,
You did such a great job showing us around last week - now I'm clicking all over the place trying to read everything!!! SOOOO much to absorb!!! But, great fun...I'm off to find a pic that better grabs the "essence" of me (though I quite enjoy the Sasquatch (sp??)!!!

Should we use "commoncraft" to explain how to use any of these features, or maybe can we be really creative & use that model to explain our process? Edvantage Interactive...in plain english, a little 2-3 minute youtube like video?

Thanks Aerin - it's looking really good. I'll do some poking around this weekend and then maybe we could chat early in the week? I'd like to softly morph the links and other ideas to things that we can support at Canadascience.com
