Written by Susan Wells, MommyBlogger at SteveSpanglerScience.com

“Hollywood has the Oscars. Broadway has the Tonys. Now Twitter has the…Shorty Awards” – The New York Times

The Shorty Awards celebrate the best people and organizations on Twitter. They are supported and judged by the Twitter community who picks the nominees and votes on them.  Winners in 27 categories will be announced  in New York  in March.

We are proud to announce that our own Steve Spangler has been nominated in the #science category for a Shorty Award.

If you’d like to vote for Steve, go to the Shorty Awards website and send the tweet out for @stevespangler. Or you can send a tweet straight thru your Twitter account. The tweet must say:

“I nominate @SteveSpangler for a Shorty Award in #science because…”

The “because” part is the most important piece. You must add a why Steve is deserving of this award or the vote will not count.

Egg in the Bottle Trick – A Special Request from Twitter

It’s back to school time and, these days, that means time for teachers to start compiling new classroom ideas from the internet. Whether looking at blogs, chatting on Twitter or browsing educational sites, most teachers have moved into the “techno-age” and are embracing the internet as a forum for sharing and gaining knowledge, tips and idea. In fact, I received a tweet over the weekend from a teacher looking for a little advice on sharing the classic Egg in a Bottle trick during her Back to School Night.

In the spirit of inspiring more teachers to incorporate technology in the classroom, I took this teacher’s Twitter inquiry to my weekly 9News segment and gave the instructions on how to get the egg in the bottle. Watch the video and read the experiment for more info… and if you have any questions be sure to send me a tweet.
