[NMScience] Inside Cancer Workshop

[Deb Thrall]

Dear NMSTA,

 

The Dolan DNA Learning Center, a part of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,
Cold Spring Harbor, NY, is presenting an educator workshop on our
website, Inside Cancer, April 11, 2008, in Albuquerque. Is there any
chance you could help us let educators in New Mexico know about this
opportunity? It will be a free, all day, event funded by NSF.

 

Thank you for you time,

 

Regards,

Inside Cancer Educator Workshop!

April 11, 2008 - Albuquerque, NM

 

Learn to teach with this Award-Winning Internet Site.

 


Dolan DNA Learning Center: The DNALC is the world's first science center
devoted entirely to public genetics education - with 20 years of
expertise training educators current and engaging science.  DNALC web
sites are cutting-edge multimedia references and teaching tools.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory: CSHL is a renowned research facility and
home to four Nobel laureates. CSHL ranked third in the world among
molecular biology and genetics research institutions for the impact of
papers published in 2002-06.

 

 

1-day Inside Cancer workshops introduce an innovative Internet site on
cancer biology. Participants are guided through authoritative and
engaging multimedia about how knowledge of the cancer cell is changing
the battle against cancer. Teachers are then introduced to the Teacher
Center, which allows educators to design lessons using Inside Cancer
content.  Using Teacher Center tools, including a Concept Matrix
aligning content to standards, Atomizer, a keyword search tool, and
Lesson Exchange, participants will build and share lesson plans and
custom multimedia presentations, focusing on syllabus-centered
instruction.

 

The workshop is designed for high school biology and health teachers,
although other educators may be accepted if space is available.
