So much going on right now so my plans to blog more often have taken another hit. One of the things going on that I’m really looking forward to is my participation in the Wyoming Technology Engagement Curriculum Connection (WyTECC) in Rock Springs, Wyoming in early May. May 6th to be exact.
I’ll be providing the keynote and 2 to 3 breakout sessions. They asked for a “STEM-ish” theme so I’m redesigning my “STEM Is A Culture, Not a Time of Day or Day of the Week” presentation and plan to build in more STEM experiences. My sessions will focus on STEM inquiry and the important parts that get left out too often because the activity is engaging, the students get excited, time runs short and we skip the parts that really make STEM learning powerful.
Hope to see you there!
Learning is messy!
This is a great conference, you will enjoy it. Wyoming’s education funding is radically better than what we have in Oklahoma- that was one of my takeaways a few years ago. Increasing student diversity too in many areas due to job dynamics.
Your themes sound good. I wonder if any Wyoming districts have a mandatory “STEM for All” course series like Yukon, Oklahoma in grades 4-5?
