About a year and a half ago, I created a series of short videos on integrating reading, writing and science for the Georgia Department of Education. Apparently, the GA DOE has an amazing and long vetting process before they can share media, but those videos are now up and running. I’m really glad to have them available. I’m not able to do as much staff development as I would like right now, but this is free, easy access for anyone to some of what I do. Check it out by scrolling down to “Science Videos” on this website (which also has supplementary resources), or click the links directly from here.
