Learning Is Messy
High Hopes Project Explained (March 29, 2015)
Mr. Crosby has been an upper elementary teacher for many years now and has began to operate the STEM system (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). He began an engineering project with local high, middle, and elementary schools in hopes to spark interest in these subjects. The projects vary in difficulty, as you would expect, but are each as fascinating as the rest. Utilizing all four parts of STEM to be able to properly complete the project is key. I was actually envious of the students that are able to participate. It is a marvelous idea to encourage students to strive for success in education and spark their interest in very important subjects.
My Response was as follows:
Mr. Crosby,
It is amazing the work you are doing. This is the emphasis our teacher is attempting to get across with project based learning. I am envious that these students are getting the opportunity to participate in these experiments. One can only hope that you will be allowed to continue this project and even expand upon it. Wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Online Presentation- What is STEM? (April 12, 2015)
Mr. Crosby is planning on hosting a virtual presentation on what the STEM program is and what it can do for students. As anyone who reads the previous post I commented on from Mr. Crosby can see the benefit the program can have towards students in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
My response was as follows:
Mr. Crosby,
I find it quite amazing that you will be hosting a virtual conference. It would be an honor if the university could pay for our classes to observe. Yet, I have been keeping up with your blog and I am still bewildered by what you are accomplishing through the STEM program. Thank you for paving the way for my generation of teachers.
