Students want to understand how ebola works. Can you get sick from ebola if someone in your state has it? How does it spread? Why is it so deadly?

This simple to understand video (H/T Laughing Squid)  about the Ebola virus is trending on YouTube. It is a video for science teachers to use to explain viruses.

It also helps us understand why we shouldn’t be scared of ebola.

“The most infectious thing about ebola is the media hype around it. You could learn something about the immune system, though.” says this well made video at the end.

Resources to Help Us Teach How Ebola Works

 Every hot topic is a topic we can use to teach. If we can teach students to look past news headlines and get educated, we will inherit a better world. As I perused the web, here are four lesson plans you can use for science, current events, reading nonfiction text, and ESL.

Resources for Schools Concerning Safety and Ebola

Ebola travels via transmission of bodily fluids. Pediatric or special needs educators may need some of these resources just to make sure they are aware. Again, we and are students are more at risk from the flu.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
