About our blog

We at SimBio believe in the importance of interactive, inquiry-driven learning and we regularly search out research and articles that suggest ways in which we can improve our chapters, labs, and teaching techniques. In this blog we share our explorations of what works—and doesn’t work—in the fields of education, educational technologies and life sciences teaching. We hope our analysis of the latest resources and insights will help you continue to engage and expand the minds of your students through:

• incorporating independent exploration and play into teaching
• appropriate use of computers in education
• new data on teaching effectiveness
• current stories and examples you can use in class to engage students
• best practices in life science education and beyond
