  • STEM education must be elevated as a national priority. Our nation’s future economic prosperity is closely linked with student success in the STEM fields .The U.S. must expand the capacity and diversity of the STEM workforce pipeline.Policymakers at every level must be informed about policy issues related to STEM education.Effective policies to promote STEM education should be bipartisan and evidence-based.

      Our nation needs students that have been educated using the STEM model.

Hippocampus Homework Help - 3 views

  •  
    This interactive site provides links to THE NROC Project, Phoenix college, KHAN Academy, PhET, and STEM bite. The resources use digital media that incorporates lessons for science and math. Students are able to learn concepts and apply the skills needed to show their understanding of these concepts. Students are given assessments on this site that check for understanding.

    I've heard of this site but never used it before. Seems to be very useful, especially for math help.
  •  
    very cool that it is a "one stop shop"! :)
  •  
    This is great. I always have trouble getting caught up on algebra in my classroom so I will have to use this.

    This site is very interesting and it is something that many students would enjoy. I have allowed my students to view Bozeman Biology on You Tube. However, this site has more resources than I originally thought.

    testing for macromolecules - happy meal

    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.

      This webpage serves as my professional digital portfolio (links down the right side) as well as a "go to" site for teaching resources for all secondary contents as well as technology integration in the classroom.

    I like to share the resources that I find with other colleagues and educators.  Building a website has allowed that to be easy.  It took quite a bit of time, but maintaining it is easy and I utilize Edmodo quite a bit, along with Pinterest to add to my collection of resources.

    Very cool! I need to learn how to do one of these.

The Reality of STEM in the Classroom - 1 views

  • 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.

The increasing necessity for STEM education - 0 views

  • The real word application of science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, is increasingly important in the workforce while science and technology are becoming less emphasized in today’s classrooms.

      This relationship of STEM in today's and tomorrow's workforce is essential.

Shutterstock Enlarge photo» Summary A closer look at U.S. unemployment statistics shows that even with unemployment still at historically high levels, large numbers of jobs are going unfilled. Most of these jobs have one very important thing in common - the need for STEM education. There is a distinct educational disconnect that we need to resolve today. 1 The real word application of science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, is increasingly important in the workforce while science and technology are becoming less emphasized in today's classrooms. The ability for students to gain access to the critical skills these subjects offer is critically important as the future workforce is projected to be dominated by those possessing technology and science skills over the next several decades.

    Computer coding is important to including STEM in education. This skill should be included in early education and it should build with each level of curriculum.

      Love this site because you can choose whether to use certain pieces of the app flow or use it in it's entirety!  Awesome resource!!

    This is one of the many awesome "app flows" that graphite has to offer for secondary math. graphite.org is a plethora of awesome lessons for educators of all core contents, but I especially like their math flows!

    Khan Academy is a really awesome self-paced website that allows students to practice math skills on their ability level. It also allows them the opportunity to master the skills they are learning and gradually move forward to work on more challenging skills.

    Pretty cool activity for 1st day of class - provides common experience for theories changing with the addition of new data
  •  
    Christina (Ms. Longo) did this with her students to illustrate theories v. laws. I think it worked pretty well.
