Integrating Technology Into The Middle Science Curriculum - 30hr
AKSCIE360
The teaching of Science over the past decade has evolved with an emphasis on inquiry skills throughout the curriculum. Through active learning students are engaged in not only mastering important facts, skills and concepts, but in internalizing them so that they can be applied in various contexts. Whereas the Science lab is the center for this kind of hands-on learning, technology offers new and exciting ways to bring Science alive for students. More importantly, technology can accommodate students' different orientations to learning and understanding. Technology and Science are a dynamic combination, and through this course you will explore the strategies, resources and possibilities for middle school teachers to integrate them across the curriculum.

Inspiring Elementary Students with Engineering - 30hr
STEM420
Learn to inspire elementary students by integrating engineering principles in your PreK- 6th grade classroom. This course will familiarize you with the engineering design process and development of model eliciting activities, which will help you engage students with hands-on, problem-solving engineering activities. You will learn how to effectively integrate engineering into your science and math curriculum to meet national standards and why it is important to pique children's interest in engineering at a young age. Throughout the sessions of the course, you will engage in a model eliciting activity (MEA), which is a strategy for integrating engineering principles into the classroom. As you work through this sample MEA, you will design an original model eliciting activity that aligns with your curriculum and pilot it in your classroom. This activity will require your students to develop hands-on solutions for a client and then test the model they developed.
