Building Learning Communities 2011

Did you know that all jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of math and science? The most recent ten year employment projections by the U.S. Labor Department show that of the 20 fastest growing occupations projected for 2014, 15 of them require significant mathematics or science preparation to successfully compete for a job. As educators, what can we do to ensure our students are ready for the future? With the surge of mobile device integration in our schools, is it possible to merge these devices with STEM curriculum to engage students? The answer is yes! 

In this session, attendees will learn different innovative ways to integrate mobile devices into STEM curriculum. Attendees will discover valuable resources on new and exciting ways to change the stigma that STEM classes are too hard. This session will provide something for everyone, even if STEM content areas are not your focus. Come and ENTER PODSTEMIC!
