Shout out for all you techies out there!
Technology in the classroom; it is fantastic when it works. I have always been fascinated with various ways that students learn and I will make sure that my students have a firm grasp on any type of technology available to them. I think Smartboards are a great way to incorporate various learning styles and abilities with technology. My plan is to teach in a STEM class environment and adopt a cooperative teaching style. I see my students teaching me as we go and developing along the way. I am open to new opportunities and look forward to setting up a positive learning environment.

ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining the STEM concept to me!
ReplyDeletePhil, when time permits would you say a bit more about what you find attractive about the STEM class environment? You've sketched out an inspiring grand plan here, and I'd love to hear a few more details regarding your vision.
ReplyDeleteJeff,
ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest characteristics of the STEM program that I love is that students will be able to use some of the knowledge in the real world. I had the unique opportunity to attend an accelerated math and science academy which incorporated technology on a daily basis. We were challenged with real life situations and asked to come with various scenarios that we encountered in our lives. I think this promotes thinking outside of tests and math problems, which is exactly what I would like to see my students accomplish.
