Interested in genetics and cloning? Then visit this site developed by the University of Utah.

The Genetic Science Learning Center is a science and health education program located in the midst of the bioscience research being carried out at the University of Utah. Our mission is making science easy for everyone to understand.

To achieve our mission, we provide educational materials and programs for global and local audiences. These include two websites, available free of charge to Internet users worldwide:

• Learn.Genetics delivers educational materials on genetics, bioscience and health topics. They are designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public. The materials meet selected US education standards for science and health.

• Teach.Genetics provides resources for K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, and public educators. These include PDF-based Print-and-Go™ activities, unit plans and other supporting resources. The materials are designed to support and extend the materials on Learn.Genetics.

I was browsing though and issue of Tech & Learning when I came across an article highlighting web tools for enhancing collaboration by Ozge Karaoglu. Listed below are links to the first three parts of her series, 100 Web Tools to Enhance Collaboration. I am familiar with some of the resources but there are many others to explore.

• Part 1
• Part 2
• Part 3

A friend (thanks, Steve!) sent me a link to this movie about Web 3.0

If you have 15 minutes, take a look. I found it interesting to hear the variety of viewpoints . Like Tim Berners-Lee, I can't imagine what the web will be like in the not too distant future - but I am looking forward to it!
