      Students in schools from all over the world can enter scientific data.  This is a great way to truly integrate technology with education - students can do "real science" and collaborate with their "colleagues" from other countries.  Great for biology, earth science, environmental science, etc.

I like that Comcast is doing that. many people feel that internet access should be run almost like a public utility (water, electric) to ensure it can reach all that need it. What was a brilliant,...

      Use SuperTracker to log food intake and get an analysis This is my favorite because it has many options to analyze your food intake and calorie expenditure. Students can keep a food log and get a detailed report which shows if their diet is meeting all recommended guidelines.

    I love this site! I used to use this with my MiID students when I taught science. I would teach them about reading labels, calories, what's good and what's not so good. It was always interesting to see their reaction when I would have them to select a meal from McDonald's and we would look at the calories and nutritional information.

    This site provides lessons on a wide array of earth science topics that kids can access at home which includes interactive videos, games, activities and lessons. It also provides great resources for teachers that can help foster creative lessons with the content. The website is a little confusing at first because each link (topic) will redirect you to another website (i.e. National Geographic) but it exposes you to different approaches to teaching the content.

    Wow! There is a lot of information on this link directly related to Earth Science. I am currently going through each link and writing down notes to help me with some of my future lectures. Thanks so much for the link that brings it all together so that I don't have to have a search overload for some of these great resources!

    The NOAA EVL is a great site for accessing satellite imagery and animations of phenomena at the Earth's surface. All images and animations are public domain and free for reuse, so its a great resource for teachers to share with students and collogues.

      I think this is a really good, quick summation of what STEM is all about.
  • STEM education can be an interdisciplinary or trans-disciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world problem-based and performance-based lessons. At this level, STEM education exemplifies the axiom "the whole is more than the sum of the parts."

  • 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.
