Abid, thank you for your opinion. I have some ideas about what could it be, and nanoeducator is among them 

Comment by Abid on November 7, 2011 at 3:07pm

Lena,you probably heard about this nanoeducator platform http://www.ntmdt.com/device/platforma-nanoedyukator-ii-1 .

I've been working with it not for a long time, but I like it because of it's simplicity in use. It's used in some universities in India and I know a lot of positive comments.

Sannette, I think that is a really great challenge! It is worth implementation! But I'm not sure I can really help you by sharing experience, because It is just my unshaped thoughts. 

Dave, I mean something like interactive lessons with real tasks but I still don't have clear undestanding and try to collect information on this topic

Sanette, I suppose that Red Cross takes part in programm like this, not research institutes and companies. There are many institutes in India, that have nanoeducation since 2004. And our experience is wide enough,we used to work with different technologies and nanoeducating platforms and saw results.I think that some of it can be usefull for your children too.

Hi Lena and Dave, I am interested in developing material to introduce nanoscience in the field of biology/life sciences for grade 10-12 children sub-saharan africa. The challenge is to make a small world real to children where even normal microscopes are a luxury. Like to hear your experiences.

Lena what do you mean by "implementation of nanotechnology in school education"?

Comment by Lena Kulikova on October 27, 2011 at 10:42pm

Dear colleagues, what do you think about implementation of nanotechnology in school education? When I was young I would be happy to have such classes in school schedule. I see many pluses in this idea: It is not as boring as ordinary classes, children can see how their work could look like, It can raise their interest in science generally and nano science in particular.
And the main minus is that children might be overworked, especially in their upper classes.

What else?

Thanks in advance

The ICPC Nanonet project (EU funded under FP7) offers you a free open access Nano Archive of nearly 7,000 items including many full texts at http://www.nanoarchive.org. Please contact me if you would like to archive your research and I will create an editor's account for you. I am also interested in communicating with researchers in sub-Saharan Africa for an annual region report. Join the international network at http://www.icpc-nanonet.org. Lesley

share ur suggestion about Ph.D programme in European countries in the field of Nanotechnology>.................

Okay -- time to confess -- I am not a nanoscience specialist. I NEED a nanoscience specialist who is interested in educating others about this evolving field.

I am preparing a general chemistry textbook that emphasizes applied chemistry by incorporating applied examples and focused chapters on specific disciplines. Nanoscience is one obvious area of applied chemistry. I am looking for a specialist to write this chapter. These do not need to be faculty, but researchers, graduate students, or senior students with an interest in this area (chemistry in nanoscience) would be ideal.

About the text: Exploring Chemistry is a first-year general chemistry textbook for advanced students and science majors. The text consists of 20 focused chapters plus 11 chapters on the applications of chemistry in specialized fields (food science, forensic science, pharmaceutical science, etc.). A nanoscience chapter would be an excellent fit. Exploring Chemistry is still in draft, with the second draft being developed for Fall 2009. The nanoscience chapter does not need to be completed for this draft, but December 2009 or April 2010 would be nice.

About the chapter: I require 15 - 20 pages of text and images targeted to second-year university science students, in chapter examples and exercises, end of chapter exercises, and a few short (1-3 paragraph) stories highlighting one application of the chapter material. My knowledge of nanoscience is limited and I leave it to educators with a nanoscience specialization to best summarize this rapidly expanding field, but to also entice students to want to know more.

The table of contents and the first chapter of the text are available at www.consol.ca/Exploring_Chemistry(overview).pdf

Interested persons can contact me for more information: JensenRH@MacEwan.ca

Thanks,
Dr. Roy Jensen
