By Tuesday....

If you haven't done so already, please acknowledge the email I sent this morning.

Thanks to those who've already begun working on the reading summaries and discussions in Schoology.

I've created a short video for those who've not yet experimented with Schoology. Please see http://nnps-secondary-stem.blogspot.com/2015/06/using-schoology-june-22-28.html .

1. By Tuesday night, please complete your longer summary (750 words MAX!) of the state or national STEM standards document most relevant to you.  Paste your summary into the appropriate Schoology discussion group. I recommend writing your summaries in a Google Doc or word processor and then paste it into Schoology.  In writing this summary, imagine you are preparing a one-page article introducing the standard in a teacher journal.

2. During the rest of the week, write your abbreviated summaries  (250 words max!) of the other listed standards.  Paste your summaries into the appropriate discussion groups. In preparing these summaries, imagine you are writing a script for a 2-3 minute introduction of the standard to a teacher team or professional learning community.

3. In preparation for our face-to-face week next week, revisit the following: 

   a. your STEM and STEM education definitions;
   b. your STEM notebook template for students; and
   c. any work you've assembled for a 7-E unit plan / lesson plans.

   Also assemble any references or materials for favorite learning activities that you might bring next week while we develop our 7-E lessons.  Career-focused resources will be especially important.

Call me any time.
