What a fabulous site. For Math and Science resources that really make a lot of sense! I also posted this site link on "Great Websites" The site provides simulations, textbook style resources, videos, and examples for students and teachers. Teachers can create assignments for students and monitor progress. I will give it a try, but I have to say, it looks amazing and exciting!!!!
STEM stands for: Science, Technology, Engineering (NOT ENGLISH!), and Math. It is new in the TDSB world, but considerably old news in the UK, and the US. This meaning that there seems to be a lot of research, articles, discussions, about STEM pedagogy. I will try to make sense out of it and bring it down to the basics so that it doesn't seem so daunting and daring as whenever you mention Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math to many elementary school teachers, they turn away figuring they just can't do it because they were an Arts major. STEM teaching seems to have appeared as evidence was gathered that students were dropping out of Science and Mathematics based study like crazy. This is alarming to any government and country as this is the fundamental core of engineering, and as we know, engineering is the fundamental core of any civilization! What we don't want is for all our innovators, inventors, problem-solvers, to be out-sourced from overseas. We want the brains and the braun to remain right here in our own countries where we share similar values, cultures, and aspirations so we can solve our problems in our ways, and perhaps change parts of the world and make it a 'better' place??>>?? Some key points to STEM education are:
