Ask a Tech Teacher

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023

I have written in the past about parent questions concerning technology in education , but always from the perspective of a teacher at the classroom. Now, I teach grad school classes online to practicing teachers and want to see if those questions are the same.

Easy prep, easy materials, easy towers! You will love these three tower challenges (and students will, too!) These easy tower challenges are some of the best things I have invented!

The theory centers on how species change over time through a process called natural selection. The diversity we see today in life is the result of changes and adaptations over millions of years. Natural selection is a core component of the theory of evolution, referring to the process where organisms containing favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce,
