Here is a useful video to show passive and active transport. I've embedded it here as a sample video in order to show you how to embed any video into your blog.
Here is a Jing Tutorial that shows how I embedded that video above:
And then a quick tutorial on how to embed a Jing video (How to do what I just did). We'll talk more about Jing in class soon, because you'll be using it as a new way to share infomation and projects.

Cell Posts
Welcome back from our Halloween "Storm Vacation." Because many people are still out of power, I'm going to give you two blog post assignments to complete by the end of the week. If you need more time because of power/internet outages, that's fine. You may work on these in class, in study halls, and at home.
Cell Post #1: Make your blog a resource for other biology students who are studying cells.
Please write a post that shares what online resources were most helpful to you as you studied the organelles and cell structure. You should include at least two different websites -- explain what the website shows and tell why it was helpful (like "this website is great for comparing plant and animal cells." or "has really good images of organelles"). I'd also like you to embed a video into your post. Find a good one from YouTube or Vimeo, and get the Embed code (by clicking Share or Embed) -- which you then paste into the Edit HTML page as you're writing your post. See this post if you need help resizing the video that you choose, if it's too big or too small after you embed it.
Cell Post #2: Turn your cell model project into a blog post.
Take a digital photo (or more) of your cell model, and present your project to the world. If you'd like to take more photos to show details of individual organelles, please do that too. Take a picture in good light, and crop to proper size if you need to. Then explain your project. Rather than take a photo of your key, use the post itself to explain the organelles. This will be make up a supplementary grade for your project.
