Florida counties fund STEM professional development for teachers.

great resource for STEM teachers

One great way to incorporate technology in the classroom is to have a focus on STEM learning. FLDOE provides a "teacher toolkit"for grades k-5 with resources to help incorporate STEM into standard based instruction. Including direct links to online learning activities.

To engage the leaders of tomorrow, teachers need access to the right materials today. These materials need to be easily obtainable, affordable and reflect the academic standards that bring real-world scenarios into the classroom. Microsoft has created Hacking STEM, a monthly resource devoted to helping teachers modernize their current STEM curriculum through inquiry and project-based lesson plans, aligned to middle-school academic standards.

STEM stands for the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The elementary schools in Lake County participate in an annual STEM Bowl Competition. During the competition students from each team work collaboratively to answer Mathematics and Science questions. These questions culminate in a final STEM problem based performance activity.

UCF Looking forward with STEM

Awesome resource I found on FLDOE. PBS Teachers provides PreK-12 educational resources and activities for educators tied to PBS programming and correlated to local and national standards and professional development opportunities delivered online. It has free webinars, free professional development training modules, videos, and much more.

High-tech bus allows for travelling STEM instruction.

Great opinion piece about why one week of computer science education is not enough.

Teacher videos, resources and lesson plans. Discover great ideas and strategies to use as a teacher with this collection of videos covering Math, Science, English, History and more.

This is the Teaching Channel's website filled with educator resources.  I have found several Science lab ideas from this site.  Many resources are standards based and grounded in STEM research, but there are resources for all subject areas.  There are also videos available that show lessons in practice.  

Great article about how stem programs still are not available to low income students

This website provides a great deal of valuable information for both educators and students pertaining to NASA and Space in general. Lesson plans for K-12, free supplemental teaching materials, educational TV schedules and professional development workshop information is all available for educators on this site. For students, this website has interactive games, videos and printable activities for grades kindergarten through 12th grade. I have used materials and ideas from this cite many times, and find it very useful and easy to incorporate into any lesson.
