    This website is a brief overview of the TPAC model. Basically TPAC is a framework that incorporates technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. According to the website, "As teachers, we understand intuitively the layers of complexity that technology adds to our work with students but the TPCK (also TPACK) framework makes these layers of complexity explicit. It captures the kinds of knowledge required for the effective integration of technology in the classroom."

    I use this same lab to identify macromolecules. However, I use products from the grocery store such as apple juice, egg whites, and cooking oil. We even allow the students to bring different items in order to make it a more inquiry based lab.

  • The purpose of STEM initiatives at the national, state, and local levels is to bring together the resources of government in support of improving our educational system, the private sector in making alliances to support authentic learning applicable to what is needed in the workforce, and educational institutions in collaborating on the best pedagogy and curricula to develop students who are prepared to meet the challenges of their futures.

      This article is an example of TPACK.

    The writer of this article mentions a concern that her and her teacher colleagues have about preparing their students to be "independent thinkers and problem solvers" ahead of "good standardized test takers". I really feel this should be a very important emphasis with regards to effective STEM education.

    It's great that so many companies are making opportunities for students to try out STEM careers through internships. That way they can find out what STEM careers interest them before they graduate.

  • progress has been too slow.
  • “student-centered instructional strategies can positively influence students’ learning, achievement, and knowledge retention, as compared with traditional instructional methods.”
  • making lectures more interactive, having students work in groups, and incorporating authentic problems and activities into coursework as being superior to traditional lectures, which remain the mainstay approach to teaching in too many classrooms.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • use of superior teaching strategies can lower the attrition rate among STEM majors
  • improved undergraduate STEM teaching can provide future K-12 teachers with a much greater mastery of the science they will teach, while demonstrating a better model for how science is best taught and learned.

      Research shows how instructional changes can improve overall STEM learning.

    It just goes to prove that active teaching is essential in all subject areas, not just those involving STEM. Students need to be taught critical thinking skills, not just memorization of facts.
