I am not a Mac user, but I'm sure there is some way to do a "screen grab" on a Mac and then insert the image into a Word file. Are there any Mac users out there who can offer specific advice?<br />

Best part of the workshop was seeing the science courseware (drosphilia lab) in action and the possibility of using it with my science classes. I wish I had it sooner when I was doing the genetics unit last semester - my students would have LOVED it. I will definitely be using the ideas from merlot in the future. My biggest challenge is having the time to incorporate all these new ideas and try them out.

1.) The best thing i took away from this workshop is the different resources out there for teachers, and different tools that can be used to create lesson plans and the activities for students.<br />
2.) The biggest challenge for me was to follow keep listening to the activity, and keep up with the different webpages.

All activities will be useful! The one I think the students will really enjoy are the virtual similation of the fruit fly lab. This activity will introduce more than biology skills, it will allow students to get familiar with the on-line purchasing symbols! I also found the e-portfolio to be extremely useful. I will definitely upload lessons and activities on to this site.<br />

Ah! Time management! This was my toughest task too as a beginning teacher. My colleagues may have better suggestions regarding "how much time," but my best suggestion is to weigh the activities contribution to the total lesson. If I have 3 learning objectives (for example), I weigh (by percentage) each objective. In a 60 minute lesson (for example) dedicate the amount of time to the activity as reasonably acceptable. Also, think about the pieces of a lesson that may be worked on by students…

Also, think about the pieces of a lesson that may be worked on by students (online) outside of the lab period. Does this help?<br />
<br />
As for access to computers, with a great lesson in hand and a strong rationale for the need to have access to computer technology, you could create a strong need for access to a computer lab or equipment. This could also be the foundation for writing to a grant RFP for computers for your classroom.<br />

Through use and practice of eportfolio you will become increasingly proficient. As you make suggestions, we can also improve the products we use. Never hesitate to ask a question. There are always others with the same question. Getting it on the forum (such as MERLOT Noyce Voices) is the first step to finding a solution. Good comment!<br />

Hi Chris,<br />
Many of us have dipped into the technology well since the 1970's. Back then we were amazed with PacMan and Pong. Clearly two thing are developing around our activities: First, we are building our knowledge and skill in educational technology, and second, we an learning how to share (through the Merlot Noyce Community) this knowledge and skills within our community and beyond. Great to have you on board!<br />
