Great posts - thanks everyone for helping me to see what is happening in the world of "talking about science to future scientists".<br />

Have any of you heard of Science Café?

A coach-friend of mine recently set up a Ning site for a middle school environmental science class. "<a href="http://ecotigers.ning.com">Ecotigers</a>"<br />
ShOot- Just realized that she has it walled. She would be happy to have you send a message. She is always looking for feedback and I think the two of you should "meet up." Here is her shiny new <a href="http://terrilynn.edublogs.org">blog</a>. Her contact info. is there.<br />

My wife is a biology teacher (9-12 though) and she has been using Ning for the past two months on this <a href="http://nashzoology.ning.com/">zoology site</a>.<br />
<br />
I have a couple for science courses I personally teach. They are upper-level high school, but in my opinion, science teachers just need to see how the content is being manipulated on a site like this to get solid ideas for implementation at their level.<br />

SOS - I need help! I have been selected to participate in an action research project - my question being "Can social networking enhance student outcomes in middle years maths and science classes?". I need to do a pre-project and post-project evaluation/data collection. Does anyone have a student survey on web 2.0 technology use/ opinions of maths and/or science learning or similar? I'd hate to re-create the wheel!

Thanks Catherine - yours is a great example of what I have been aiming for with my students. I couldn't find the 'comical ad' that Nancy refers to below, but you have provided a 'one-stop' shop for your students to find resources, discuss problems and assist each other. I also like the introductory page ('uploads not downloads' and valuing the student).<br />

Looks like the kids really enjoyed using the wiki, where did they get their experiments? I love the comical add and what the girls have to say:<br />

I don't have any research but I am having success using a wiki in my science class. We document our lab results and experiments. The students are in groups and each group gets their own page. I find that kids who normally resist any writing assignments will write if it is on the computer. Here is a link to our page. <a href="http://www.team8blue.wikispaces.com">www.team8blue.wikispaces.com</a> (last year's page) and…
