This home page is going to serve as a reflection that
will also serve as an introduction to my portfolio for this class. I remember
last spring when I was putting together my MET portfolio, thinking I want to
take 541 because people were being able to use much of their work from the Integrating Technology into the Classroom course to meet the standards in the MET
portfolio. Now that I have, for the most part, finished the class, I feel
really accomplished because the projects pushed me in directions I had thought
about before, but needed another opportunity to do.
The lessons you find here are to become incorporated into a STEM class I plan to work on some more once I’m done with my formal classes. Even the lessons that involve English or physical education can be incorporated into a curriculum that is emphasizing STEM topics. The lesson on Python is a part of my plan, because I intend to teach students how to program with Python so they can use the commands in a Minecraft or Arduino unit. Unlike my peers for the course, I have a lot of flexibility because I am not bound to a specific school. I am now doing my own thing in hopes it will be picked up by someone, or some company who will help me put these ideas in the hands of children.
If you are interested in seeing what comes of my STEM thing, drop by www.learningstemalacarte.com sometime to see if I have updated anything in a way it would involve the lessons I made here. I did not realize how amazing this class was going to be when I signed up for it. I have been pleasantly surprised.
If for some reason, you want to see blog posts to accompany the course, they can be found at my Learning Log, that has many posts in addition to the ones for this class. All the posts for this class should be in the EDTECH 541 category.
