Adopting and Adapting STEM Learning Activities
Monday, May 1, 2023 - Sunday, June 18, 2023
There are a number of content repositories for STEM learning activities available online. Unfortunately, navigating through those resources can be quite daunting. This course will provide guidance for navigation and selection of teaching resources in several of those repositories. The student will identify a topic currently being taught in one of their classes and will follow a guided path to identifying valuable activities that would enrich the students’ learning of that topic. The students will use provided templates to explore, evaluate, modify, and adapt activities that meet classroom needs. Students will make regular posts to a metacognitive journal throughout the course in order to track the steps of the process thus enabling them to continue enriching their courses with free useful content from online repositories. Focused discussion sessions will allow the students to process what they are learning and to share with others in the class.
