An interactive powerpoint presentation walks students step-by-step through the process of generating a Korjinski diagram for the system K20-Al2O3-SiO2. Students will use the triangular diagram from the previous exercise to determine which minerals have stability boundaries on the diagram. A second tutorial explains how to plot a natural water composition on the diagram. A Word document provides the thermodynamic data and instructions necessary to create their own diagram for the Ca0-MgO-SiO2 system. An answer key is also provided.

Students will:
- Calculate mineral compositions in mole percent and plot on a triangular diagram.
- Determine which is the stable mineral at the apices.
- Draw in all possible tie-lines connecting coexisting minerals.
- Eliminate unstable collinear phases.
- Eliminate crossing tie-lines.
- Determine stable mineral assemblages for bulk-rock compositions provided.

It is a CLE presentation on the flight simulations. It includes a comparison between an example of an objectivist learning environment and a CLE on flight simulation

The CLE presentation presents theoretical principles and instructional characteristics of Constructivist Learning Environments (CLEs), contrast these to the theoretical principles and instructional characteristics of Objectivist Learning Environments (OLEs), share an example of a CLE that is technology supported , and critique the extent to which the selected CLE example embodies the principles of constructivism.

This is a quick 3 day unit on the Continents, oceans, prime meridian, equator, and hemispheres geared for 6th grade.

Using multi-media and basic atmospheric physics, students investigate contrails and chemtrails. Students apply previous learning about pseudoscience, and couple that with an understanding of the atmosphere to reach a decision about chemtrails. Students write an analysis paper on the issue of chemtrails, followed by a decision paper about whether society should be concerned about chemtrails.

During this demo, participants use springs and a map of the Pacific Northwest with GPS vectors to investigate the stresses and surface expression of subduction zones, specifically the Juan de Fuca plate diving beneath the North American plate.

A compilation of video scenarios of people interacting with each other in Portuguese. Conversations include dialogs, questions, turn taking exchanges, clarifications, false starts, hugs, laughter, asides. The scenarios are enhanced by transcriptions, translations, content analysis, and notes and discussion blogs.

This public speaking lesson focuses on presenting and conveying important information, details, facts, and opinions in a concise manner. This lesson presents several different real-world situations where students are asked to share their perspectives, experiences, and stories where they are to give supporting details and facts that are important to the context of different social interactions (talking with peers, colleagues, community, interviews, etc). With the creation of this lesson, different level options of technology integration are offered to allow for flexibility and modifications for this lesson to best serve various classrooms and their students (low tech, medium tech, and high tech options). This lesson will help students analyze a social interaction and/or topic and have them clearly and concisely give an authentic response.
