After a much needed break, I am back working on my blog. I started the blog two years ago when I began a new position as an elementary engineering teacher and also began my Ed.D. program for educational technology at Boise State University. In the past two years I have made many changes in my professional learning network and conscious efforts to step outside the comfort zone I had settled into as an educator. Moving from a third grade general classroom to the elementary teaching position was in part responsible for the expansion of my professional experience, but my Ed.D. program contributed evenly more significantly to my pursuit of additional opportunities for my students and myself.
During the remainder of winter break, I will try to share highlights from my instructional and professional experiences during the last two years, exciting projects that I have integrated, and simply a review of lessons from my elementary engineering lab. Please feel free to share with me any STEM projects you have integrated into your classroom. I love hearing about what others are doing.
I have so appreciated opportunities other educators have shared with me. This blog shares the opportunities I have discovered for students and educators as they occur and shares activities and ideas from my elementary engineering lab. Students in elementary engineering build working models, use robotics, and design 3D printing projects using project-based learning. Opinions expressed here are my own.
