Center for Piedmont Natural History in York, SC--will lead discussions
on a wide realm of nature-based topics, including how to bring the
outdoors into your K-12 classroom, virtually and otherwise. Bird
watching, close-up photography, leading field trips, phenology, and
nature study Web sites are all fair game--including the one at
http://www.hiltonpond.org <http://www.hiltonpond.org/>. Neotropical
migrant birds that spend our winter in Central and South America rush
northward in May, spreading out across the U.S. and Canada in search of
nest sites. This month's discussion takes a look at these amazing
long-distance travelers and what we can learn from them. The topic is "M

Thursday, May 13
* Teacher Education Faculty Forum
5:00-6:00pm PDT
Join Marianne Handler and Jan Naher-Snowden for this forum for Teacher
Education Faculty. The group will meet in the Hot Tub Conference Room.
It is the goal of this discussion group to help faculty plan for the
needed preparation prior to sending students to their first virtual
discussions and address concerns teacher faculty face in helping their
students learn to integrate technology into their curriculum.
* Preservice Teachers - Moving Tech from "About" to "With"
6:00-7:00pm PDT
Make the move from "Learning about the Technology" to "Learning with the
Technology". Before we can expect our future students to develop the
ability to develop a deeper understanding of how technology can assist
them in gaining content knowledge, we must make that leap ourselves. Our
discussion will focus on the real life applications of technology skills
for our personal life-long learning goals. This group meets in the Cafe.
* AAMU Writing Project - WriteTalk
6:00-7:00pm PDT
Frustrated by trying to write a snazzy introduction for that grant
proposal? Polishing up a lesson plan to submit for publication?
Petrified by a smirking deadline and no clue how to begin? Moderated by
Sandra Shattuck, a teacher consultant of the Alabama A&M University
(AAMU) Writing Project (one of 175 sites of the National Writing
Project), WriteTalk's purpose is two-fold: 1) to provide peer feedback
on any stage of our professional writing (brainstorming,
invention/pre-writing, drafting, revising), and 2) to discuss the
teaching of writing in all subject areas. If you're curious about how
teaching writing in your subject area can facilitate learning of both
content and process, come chat with us. Come join us at WriteTalk in the
ASO where we talk our writing challenges into manageable moments of
creativity. We will discuss our experiences using the writing prompts
featured in the AAMU Writing Group office and also talk about any
writing challenges
