Virtual Visits with the New York Hall of Science

Dear Educator,

The New York Hall of Science is pleased to announce that we are in process of developing two exciting and innovative projects that involve distance learning and educational software programs for teacher enrichment.

We need your help in gathering information from middle and high school science teachers about their interest in online professional development, as well as interest in our Crime Scene Information Technology (CSIT) program. If you are a middle or high school science teacher please take our science teacher survey. Our teacher survey takes only 5 minutes to complete and would help the Hall develop future web-based programming.

If you are not a middle or high school science teacher, you can help us by taking a survey that is open to teachers of all subjects and grades. This survey seeks to gauge teachers’ use of technology both in professional practice and private life. Click here to access the technology survey for teachers. It will take no more than 5 minutes to complete.

We encourage you to participate in one of these surveys and forward this message to your fellow educators.

On behalf of all of us at the New York Hall of Science, thank you for your help and support.

Sincerely,
Chris Lawrence
Senior Manager of Digital Learning

Today I had the absolute pleasure in working with Karina Bueron Rojas, from The Thomas Jefferson Institute in Mexico City, and almost 120 of her 4th graders. Saying that the experience was ‘fun’ would be the understatement of the century. I had such an amazing time performing our Chemistry Demonstration in two separate sessions for them. Karina’s group of students were polite, intelligent, and very excited about connecting with us. This is actually my first of several connections with the school. I will have 2 “Journey Inside The Eye” programs with their 5th graders tomorrow. I am very much looking forward to this. You can view some of the pictures down below:
