The first is a Yahoo! group for Middle School Science teachers. I have only asked one question on this forum but I received several suggestions for a chromotography exercise with my students. Membership is required but not too difficult to sign up for.
Another forum I signed up with is the Teach-Nology teacher forum. My state mentor suggested this resource. I have implemented a series of closure exercises for formative assessment with my students. The closure exercises were based on some entries that were actually in the forum archives. I find that most of my questions can already be answered by a search of the forum.
Finally, in another MAT class, Alaska History: People and Resources and the Curriculum Development course we use a forum for turning in our assignments. Again, you need to have an account for this one, so I have not included a link here. By reading our classmates' entries we are able to cover a lot of area without doing redundant research. This is more relevant to our MAT experience but I hope to incorporate some things I have learned there in the classroom.
