Science Blogging

This weekend's assignment is fairly broad. The goal is for you to get a better understanding of all science blogs, other science bloggers (besides yourselves), and what they are writing about. I want you to see how they synthesize content and take on current, cutting issues in biology.
In order to do this, please complete the following tasks:

• Take some time to peruse through these science blogs. They have some great information on current topics in biology. Also, make note of any topics that catch your eye. You will be picking a current topic in biology to work with next week (details to follow.....)

• Become followers of each of these blogs. We will refer to them on occasion throughout the year.

• Also, take a few minute to check out this website for educators and students on webtools. There are some pretty awesome ones out there. Jing, Prezi, and Glogster are just the beginning......the possibilities are endless.

That's it! On Monday, we will discuss your findings a bit and I'll fill you in on the plan......

Have a great weekend!
