Welcome to Expert Voices. Currently teachers and volunteers from NSDL Pathways Projects are assisting NSDL Core Integration developers in testing the system by participating in Expert Voices discovery team conversations. Discovery teams are typically composed of any combination of content experts, instructors, librarians, curriculum developers, or other experts who coordinate and moderate blog discussions by posing initial topics or questions, providing new blog entries, and responding to comments and questions.
Expert Voices uses weblog technology to support collaborative STEM conversations among content experts, scientists, teachers, and students from key NSDL audience groups: K12 teachers, university faculty, librarians, and library builders. Moderated conversations are designed to tie NSDL resources to science news and add context for resources that enhance discovery, selection and use. This is the “beta” version and is being tested with users and prepared for release Spring 2007.
