Technology and STEM Education

Through the exploration of current and cutting edge science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education technologies, educators will discover effective ways to enhance student learning in STEM. Participants will learn how to distinguish STEM domains by their unique ways of knowing and the means by which knowledge is constructed. We will address issues of using technology with young learners and examine best practices for engaging students in meaningful learning experiences that support their conceptual understandings across STEM domains. Applied project design will enable participants to examine the complexities of practical implementation. Offered annually.
