Q6: How can we gain confidence to teach #STEM if our background is not in #STEM? #ksedchat

A7 just use the recycling pile, etc. STEM isn’t synonymous with expensive. Grants are also widely available! #ksedchat

kristian_cart Oct 30 @ 9:53 PM EDT

When I first started teaching STEM I learned more than my Ss. One of the most successful school years I've had! #ksedchat

andreaholzwarth Oct 30 @ 9:46 PM EDT
Yes! Learning alongside your students - students can also be teachers! #ksedchat

  A6- Take the jump and know it won’t be perfect. Partner with Ss to solve problems. T doesn’t have to be knowledge holder #ksedchat

TheresaJHall Oct 30 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: Critical thinking is free! Begin to develop & encourage curiosity in your students, answer questions with questions! #ksedchat

DuffysClassroom Oct 30 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: tape, marshmallows, spaghetti, foil, string, pipecleaners- all cheap and all great starters for problem solving challenges #ksedchat

TheresaJHall Oct 30 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7: Look for a problem to solve within the school building, odds are #STEM skills will be needed to solve it! #ksedchat

Be sure to come back to #ksedchat in November! Lots of great hosts and topics!

kristian_cart Oct 30 @ 9:55 PM EDT

We can teach a lot about computational thinking without even a computer and just by doing some of the same things we always do. #ksedchat

WOW! How did an hour already pass? Q8: What are your key takeaways from tonight’s #ksedchat?

DuffysClassroom Oct 30 @ 9:56 PM EDT

STEM education isn’t about 1:1. Like we said in A1, find your why, and the how will follow. #ksedchat

We turned our basement into a school-wide STEM storage. When everyone put their supplies together, we had TONS of STEM stuff!!!

andreaholzwarth Oct 30 @ 9:57 PM EDT

GREAT IDEA! #ksedchat

If we truly want to impact students lives then I must be willing to first change my way of thinking. #ksedchat
