STEM Essentials Series

When beginning to implement STEM projects in your classroom, it can be very overwhelming.  Where do I start?  What do I need?  What am I missing?

STEM projects generally take a good deal of planning on the teacher's part and are generally complex by nature.  There are many components that need to be developed and in place prior to students' starting their inquiry.

Whether you have found a great resource from a reputable organization or are creating the materials yourself from scratch, there are some STEM Essentials that you will need in order to plan, execute and assess an effective STEM project.   This series will focus on those STEM essentials that will help make your project organized, engaging and successful!

INFOhio

If you are in the state of Ohio, you might be interested in this little gem.  INFOhio is a virtual K-12 library that connects educational resources with the  information technology.  It is available to all K-12 teachers and students in the state.  To access, it from a school, users need only to type in the URL.  From home, you'll need to type in your username and password, which is provided by your school media center specialist.

On Thursday, February 17, because of my involvement with AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) I have been asked to give a webinar on "Supporting the STEM Initiative with Secondary Students" on  Thursday afternoon for Ohio teachers. If you work in the K-12 community in Ohio, please consider joining us!
