  1. Science is STEMtastic! Patti Grammens Lilly Turpin Lakeside Middle School Cumming, GA

  2. www.wikispaces.com • http://sciencefrizzle.wikispaces.com • Sciencefrizzle • Post information – share ideas • You can have several different pages

  3. What is STEM? • Science • Technology • Engineering • Math

  4. What we do well • Hands-on inquiry science • Using real-world examples to present math and science concepts • Using household items in teaching science • Using calculators, rulers and other tools to demonstrate visual representations • Making the standards relevant to how the students see the world around them • Following State Standards • Preparing for the Common Core

  5. What the students do well • Texting • Listen to I-pods • Are not afraid to try new technology • Working together and helping each other • Socialize and use social networks • Push boundaries

  6. What can we do to ensure STEM implementation? • Utilize all available technology students have • BYOT plan - each school may have different plans • Cell phones • Pictures and video • Apps • Surveys http://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/LTEwMjg5MjI1MDQ • Calculators • Timing devices

  7. Student Technology • I-pod and I-phone • Podcasts of science ideas • http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/podcasts.cfm?type=60-second-science • Play videos back • Add music to presentations • Use music to teach concepts • http://www.iamlodge.com/beans/ • http://www.kidsknowit.com/educational-songs/index.php?topic=Physics • http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/IEC/elementsong.html • Youtube, Teachertube • http://faculty.washington.edu/crowther/Misc/Songs/music.shtml

  8. Student Technology • Kindle and Nook and other e-readers • Flip video camera "G:\GSTA presentation\Raghav.wmv" • Camera • Computers • I-Pad • Portable GPS units (and GPS on phones)

  9. Webinars and Videoconferences • Live videoconference with the JOIDES resolution • STEM connect Webinars • Archived so you can choose your time

  10. What else can we do? • Use available digital resources • BrainPop • Gizmos (Explorelearning.com) • On-line simulations http://phet.colorado.edu/

  11. Utilize National contests • Science Olympiad • Math Counts • Mu Alpha Theta • Siemens we can change the world challenge • Exploravision • Ecybermission (sponsored by the Army) • 3-M Young scientist challenge • Many others!

  12. Join professional communities • DEN • GSTA • NSTA • GCTM • NCTM

  13. Become a Star Discovery Educator • Discovery Educators are registered users of the DEN online community • Learn from your colleagues on the DEN blogs and Discussion Forums • Search and download resources from DEN Educator Resources library • Attend virtual events • Share your knowledge with others!
