Middle School Science Minute

by Dave Bydlowski (k12science or davidbydlowski@mac.com)

In the Summer, 2012 issue of Science Scope, a publication of the National Science Teachers Association, the safety question of the month was “After lab work, should students use antibacterial hand wipes or just plain soap and water to clean their hands?”

Ken Roy, director of environmental health and safety for Glastonbury Public Schools in Glastonbury, Connecticut provides a great answer.  If you would like more information on science safety, you can purchase Ken’s book, “The NSTA Ready-Reference Guide to Safer Science,” through the NSTA bookstore.

ISTE Keynote: What were they thinking?

Posted by Brad Flickinger on Jun 26, 2012 in school technology
As I have said before in this blog, I attend edtech conferences to be inspired and to steal ideas to take back to my own school. But when I left the keynote that opened this year’s ISTE 2012 Conference, I was scratching my head wondering what was the purpose of what I had just witnessed. I felt embarrassed to be an educator. Did ISTE really just do this to me? Did they sell out? Did they take inspiring me too far?
