Matt Meselson takes us on a journey through his long and storied career, including 60 years as a Harvard biology professor. From memories of his earliest science experiments as a small child to his non-traditional learning path, which included service learning during WWII, to musings on the spirit of cooperation in managing a pandemic and the future of biology and humanity, this episode gives us an insight into a legendary figure in biology. A new virtual interview series from LabXchange at Harvard University, the Xchange showcases the diverse roles, projects, and initiatives that make up the intersecting fields of science, education, and health. Hosted by LabXchange Faculty Director Robert Lue, our first season features a range of perspectives on the impact of COVID-19.

With the ever-changing online and social media landscape for accessing news, students need tools to sift through the good, the bad, and the ugly and develop skills to determine credibility, recognize bias, and fact check. Teachers need high quality materials to support the teaching of media literacy. This content package is intended for educators to easily find lessons, eBooks, videos, websites, articles, units of study, graphics, and other resources to support the teaching of media literacy and to help students “navigate the news.”
Self-direction is one of the most powerful skills anyone can develop. In today's world of high stakes testing and educational pressure, here are some ways to encourage the development of self-direction in learning.
In collaboration with graduate students at Harvard University, LabXchange has created method videos that demonstrate laboratory techniques while highlighting the rationale behind the steps and proper safety precautions.
This resource provides the user with civilian jobs that they are suited for based on their military experience and shows them how they can apply skills learned in the military to other careers.
Students learn about the separation techniques of sedimentation and centrifugation and investigate whether blood is a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture. Working in groups as if they are biomedical researchers, they employ the scientific method and make observations about the known characteristics of urine, milk and blood. They probe further by analyzing research on the properties and fractionation modes of blood. As students learn about certain strange characteristics with the fractionation behavior of blood, they formulate hypotheses on the unique nature of blood. Using provided materials âolive oil, tomato juice and petroleum jellyâthey design an experiment and construct a blood model. They test their hypotheses by conducting experiments on the blood model, and then propose theories for the nature of blood as a mixtureâarriving at the theory of mixture dualism in bloodâthat blood is a complex mixture system. An activity-guiding handout and PowerPoint® presentation are provided for this student-directed, project-based activity.
Aimed at educators, this is a quick self-compassion practice that can be applied throughout the day whenever difficult emotions arise.
Teaching in a Hybrid Learning environment is a new experience for educators across the country. We at Digital Promise are thinking creatively about how to support educators that find themselves in this new teaching and learning experience. To meet the needs of students and educators, we have designed this micro-credential experience to provide the framework, philosophy, and strategies needed to succeed and create high-quality learning experiences. As an educator leading a hybrid learning environment, it is important to have a clear vision and understanding of high-quality hybrid learning that identifies and makes the best use of online, face-to-face, and independent learning experiences. The development of a clear vision and quality models allows students to maintain high-quality engagement while educators maintain a sustainable practice.
Approximate time to complete this course is 4 hours. A micro-credential is available from Digital Promise upon completion.
Content specific and supporting materials and resources for online and blended learning are critical to meet the differing learning styles of today's learners. In this session, multiple sources of free multimedia resources will be shown as well as demonstrations of how to embed these resources into popular learning management systems and web tools.
Video, effective for engaging students with significant cognitive disabilities, demonstrates the use of a variety of communication approaches to support students ability to identify and talk about the feelings of a character.
Students are introduced to the concept of the image of music. After listening to a song, they draw images of it by deciding where different musical instruments were placed during recording. They further investigate audio engineering by modeling the position of microphones over a drum set to create a desired musical image.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration and developed by the National Center for O*NET Development, the My Next Move: O*NET Interest Profiler helps students discover their interests and how they relate to the world of work using a color-coded survey that includes smiley-face symbols to accompany the numbers to denote level of interest.

Short discussion of teaching students the importance of why they are reading a particular text. Also provides some commentary from a teacher who used this method and an example of some questions students wanted to answer from a particular reading. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
PDF page from the New South Wales, Australia, Department of Education and Training that contains suggestions for helping students retell things they have read or seen. It includes some suggestions for how to achieve this as well as a classroom example from a teacher and a sample of student work.
At LabXchange, we want you to see yourself in STEM. On our free online platform, you will find narratives from scientists of diverse backgrounds. These personal stories reveal the personal and social contexts that influence scientific discovery. When you learn about how people started their careers in science, you will see that scientists are people like you.
Come and learn how to begin to help parents and educators address the aftermath of a natural disaster with children through reading and books. This site features a list of titles to begin this journey of healing.
In this activity, students explore the importance of charts to navigation on bodies of water. Using one worksheet, students learn to read the major map features found on a real nautical chart. Using another worksheet, students draw their own nautical chart using the symbols and identifying information learned.
