Hi everyone!
Thank you all for a wonderful week in Saskatoon! It was a honour to be among such wonderful educators from all around the world. I come back home with many ideas and now I need to figure out how to incorporate all that in my classes (lack of time being the main issue here...).
I hope we can meet or collaborate again on different projects. A special thanks to Tracey, Johanne, Annie, Tim, Jasmine and everyone at CLS for making this such a great event.
Here's the link to my presentation on Rollercoaster physics (pdf). If you would like to have the Excel file with the accelerometer data, e-mail me. The file is too big to go on Google Docs. Also, I have another document with all the data needed to answer the 5 questions in the assignment (although this might only be of interest to people in Quebec who know the rides from LaRonde...). If you want it, e-mail me!
And please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about astronomy and how to incorporate it in your class. I have a lot of contacts/information/ressources which might help you!
Aurevoir et à bientôt (j'espère)!
Julie

Jeopardy Template
Hi Everyone!
With the help of Annie, I think my Jeopardy template is going to be available on here. I had no idea how to do it on my own. : D
Thanks for all the invaluable information I received from everyone! I hope to meet you all again soon. It is extremely motivating to meet such creative and friendly people. I hope you all enjoyed our wonderful city! If you don't see the Jeopardy Template up, just let me know and I'll e-mail it to you!

Science on Stage has been fabulous! I am so glad to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know you all better and I hope we get to work together more! I will post some of the presentations that I have from this week in the next few minutes. But then I have to go and get your coffee ready :) Ok I would like to upload the presentations, but I can't seem to figure out how to attach documents :( help would be appreciated....

Jeopardy PPT
This is my official first blog post. : )
Thanks to all the motivating people here at Science on Stage who have inspired me to do more and to learn to enjoy taking risks!! I appreciate all the enthusiasm and creativity to everyone who has contributed to this process. It's wonderful to have such a wide range of educators all together in one place. Thanks to all the hard work by Tracy, Johanne, Annie and Tim!
Here is the lovely template for you to use however you wish!! I don't know anything about loading things on here, so I'm giving it my best shot....
Did not work... I will get some help today. : D

Online Collaboration
There are so many great resources out there for teachers to use, and I have made a google document where teachers can share their resources. Some of the great sites are also here. Check out http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddp59kq3_26g8ckvxgd and if you would like to contribute please e-mail me.
Science on Stage has rocked! It has been really motivating to be with such an inspiring group of educators. Everyone is so passionate about science education that we have all been infected with the enthusiasm. I hope that all teachers can benefit from the ideas that we develop at this conference and as the conference continues to grow. Thank you everyone!

Flash animations
Flash animations are easy to produce, and can often be done in less time it takes to find the exact one you're lookign for. Plus it means you can write is so you can select English or French on the click of a button (if you can do basic coding)
The coding takes a bit of practice, but it's a powerful tool once learnt. You can purchase SWiSHmax with a huge discount as an educator. It'll cost ya around $75US after the 50% discount.
When I retun home, I might upload something i created using the program.
In the mean time, here's a good site for free interactive flash things - great for high school physics.
