Waiting “Patiently”

If you can’t see the screen it says “Configuring Windows Updates” and I’m guessing you have waited here too.  As science teachers, and science researchers before that, Mark and I have had the amazing experience of living before computers and during their development into something that touches everything we do: teaching, web development, field work, lab work, and hobbies.  So there may be some grumbling when the software updates, but every day with this technology is amazing.

Welcome Teachers

If you are preparing to teach K-16 students or are homeschooling, welcome!

Even if you are not formally choosing a career path towards teaching, you will most likely be teaching family and friends in your lifetime.  We hope that this course helps you experience the joy in learning and teaching science!
