6 years, 2 months ago6 years, 2 months agoHello,
I met a PhD student in Anthropology who develops teaching materials for Human Evolution. I know some of you are or will be teaching in the future. Some of the models she highlights are in MorphoSource. Here’s her website for lesson ideas, models, resources and more… If you want me to put you in contact with her, I’d be happy…[Read more]

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoI’ve been having some strange and INCREDIBLY frustrating problems with my TAZ5 lately… The printer will get 20-30% of the way into a print and then just stop. No error message, no code I can look up… It says it’s still printing but it’s as if it freezes. It does this more when I try to print multiple models at a time, but has started doing i…[Read more]

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHello,
a few weeks ago I posted a website that has amazing STL models for bird beaks.
https://www.markmybird.org/
However, I did not see a way for downloading the models. I contacted the developer and ALL files are FREE! Here are the instructions to download:
Many of the scans (for ~2000 species) are downloadable in obj format…[Read more] -

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHi iDigFossils Teachers,
I wanted to reiterate Dr. Antonenko’s apology about the myFOSSIL spam. We at FOSSIL sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or confusion the spam has caused. Fortunately, we have updated our registration process this morning to filter out non-human registrants. Hopefully, this will prevent future spammers from…[Read more]

Was that donation true ? Sadie

Hi @md-ibrahimulbari-md-ibrahimulbari, we believe the email was spam, and therefore likely untrue. We added extra spam protections to the website last week, so hopefully there will not be any future spam users on myFOSSIL.

Okay. I understand. But I question why will a person give money without reason. Why did she gave me the lawyer’s contact number and mail address ? Your opinion.

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHi everyone,
I wanted to apologize if you have received any spam messages through MyFossil recently. The developers are working hard to fix this issue. Please discard any spam messages if you receive them. You know everyone in our group of teacher leaders and so if it comes from someone outside of our iDigfossils group, it is likely a spammer.…[Read more]

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHi,
I sent an email message to all my sixth grade parents about the 3D workshop in Gainesville. I can do a quick survey in my classes, however, even if my students say they want to go they depend on their parents to drive them to the event. So, it will be best if you directly check how many parents reply to the message and that will let you g…[Read more]

Hey guys,
Megan can’t make it, but I can drive up in the morning. I would like kids to carpool with their parents, but we’ll see what happens. I’m going to announce this to all classes on Wednesday, so Meg and I should be able to tell you how many are interested at the end of this week.

Awesome, Thanks @julie-hughes

I just wanted to share that a resource that sometimes is forgotten is the public library. Our public library in Gainesville has some STEM outreach programs that worked great when I introduced my students to 3D printing. A public library employee brought some STEM kits that allow the students to do some coding. While I was working with a…[Read more]
