Science
|
This Web Seminar took place on September 19, 2012 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern
Time. The presenters were Michael Tinnesand, Former
Associate Director of the ACS Education Division, and Tracy
Halmi, an instructor at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College and Chair of
National Chemistry Week (NCW). In this program, Mr. Tinnesand and Ms. Halmi shared
resources for celebrating National Chemistry Week, which will take place October
21-27, 2012.
The PowerPoint, related resources from the NSTA Learning Center, and web links from
the presentation are now contained in the above resource collection. Clicking on
the collection link will place it in your Learning Center, My Library,
neatly organized under the My Resource Collections tab.
In this seminar, Mr. Tinnesand and Ms. Halmi discussed a variety of ways to celebrate
National Chemistry Week and the theme for 2012, Nanotechnology: The Smallest BIG
Idea in Science. Mr. Tinnesand provided an in-depth look at three activities that
teachers can use in the classroom to give students a chance to explore nanotechnology
concepts. As Chair of National Chemistry Week, Ms. Halmi talked about the wealth
of resources available to chemistry educators, including websites, books, and videos,
as well as a poster contest and lesson plans for hands-on experiments.
Seminar participants received one of the NSTA SciGuides. A certificate
of attendance was deposited into participants' My PD Record and Certificates
area in the NSTA Learning Center for completing the evaluation form at the end of
the program.
Here are some comments provided by the participants at the end of the Web Seminar:
- “Excellent job! Very relevant to what I teach!”
- “I loved being introduced to the ACS and all the educational resources! I now have a ‘one stop shop’ instead of randomly searching on Google.”
- “I really liked getting all of the links for the resources as well as new ideas for my classroom.”
- “I love to be able to connect with my peers via this webinar format.”
Thanks to the participants and the presenter for the learning opportunity, the interactions,
and a job well done!
