\"Bruce_F12_Sm\"<\/a>My name is Bruce Patterson. I’ve been teaching different levels of biology for the last 20\u00a0years, primarily molecular biology, introductory biology (lab and lecture) and genetics. I think a lot about what students need to learn and what\u00a0can\u00a0be truly ingested and understood during one semester. I create (and share<\/a>)\u00a0tools <\/em>for\u00a0students to engage in, support, and enhance their\u00a0learning. The ideas, materials, and software are explained here, and found at https:\/\/thinkbio.guru<\/a>. I’m\u00a0creating a textbook<\/a> that introduces true, deep interactivity and is aligned with current teaching principles and standards. It’s a huge project so I’m searching for a sponsor or funded collaborator (especially for the artwork & programming!).<\/p>\n

The thinkBio site contains free-to-use teaching materials for Introductory Biology and AP Biology (and sometimes more advanced genetics and\/or molecular courses) including \u00a0interactive software, lecture modules, lab activities, and this blog. Everything is free to use.<\/p>\n

What’s here<\/h2>\n

The blog currently consists of a number of posting types:<\/p>\n

‘What is important about…<\/span>‘ entries are my views on the\u00a0concepts<\/em> worth teaching to beginning biologists<\/p>\n

‘Making Sense<\/span>‘ attempts to lay out the case that a thoughtful individual could predict, or at least see the logic behind the way things are done in cells. These are also meant to be frameworks for teaching introductory biology in a constructivist way.<\/p>\n

‘Themes<\/span>‘ are umbrella groupings that allow a lot of topics to be introduced in a coherent way<\/p>\n

‘Book reviews<\/span>‘ are… book reviews \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Me…<\/h3>\n
