  So, how can this be used in the classroom? Even without sending in your DNA for sampling 23andMe puts a lot of the study of genetics and ancestry into context in a way that is more interesting and compelling then what I ever learned in school. The website provides a collection of educational materials to guide educators and learners on a personal journey of genetic discovery. Here are some of the great learning resources 23andMe offers to enable visitors to discover the world of genetics. A great place to start with students would be with the Variations section which highlights stories of famous people and how their genes affected them. This can be tied to an activity where students reflect on how they think their genes may have shaped who they are or ...

  "Interactive Exercises or Hey....what's up with the spots?" Spotted dog is a developing collaboration between faculty, students and staff in the Department of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University. The interactive exercises are designed to emphasize the "process"of working through an exercise. When possible, we integrate a bit of bayou culture.

  This presentation, simply entitled Pay Attention, was created by Darren Draper in an effort to motivate teachers to more effectively use technology in their teaching. Since most of today's students can appropriately be labeled as "Digital Learners", why do so many teachers refuse to enter the digital age with their teaching practices?

• Three Project Based Learning Resources: Free Online Resources for Student Collaboration and Problem Solving
  Project based learning using all or any of the three online resources offers a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges. Project Based Learning (PBL) provides opportunities for students to collaborate as they solve challenging problems. This problem solving strategy is guided by open-ended questions which drive student lead investigative processes. Student groups research the problem, collect data, and draw conclusions based on their findings. An example of a complicated PBL is assigning student groups to visit ten stations around the classroom. At each station there are different items. The challenge is to determine the socio-economical forces that drove those products into being made. Additional PBL learnin
