#stemstudio @JessicaKesler7 microscope reflection... clarity is that you need to go slow and do the essential questions and question generation before you get ahead of yourself and start doing projects

#stemstudio giving and getting feedback to improve design. Go team

#nesachat #stem I'm so excited to hear about the number of people doing maker faires. Keep up the efforts everyone.

A6: I've seen the g9-10 integrated science incorporating more projects like, 'build a machine that converts energy between forms. #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

Q6. Have the NGSS documents helped you integrate engineering into your classroom? What is missing? What is needed? #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

A4: I find the trick with standards and allowing failure is that the failure can't be do to lack of effort and initiative. (sometimes kids warp the statement) #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

Q4. STEM challenges promote the application of many non-cognitive skills, should we be emphasizing these over content standards? #nesachat

Elementary STEM has done and amazing job merging NGSS standards with LAUNCH cycle. I am soooo impressed.
HS moving more toward Design Tech type rubric (at least for larger projects) https://t.co/VwrOP1pdWn

@aisrtechcoach Are you happy with the result? A3. #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

A3: We had an agreement to use the design cycle as on PBS design squad. Elementary now using the LAUNCH cycle by john spencer. #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

A2: My HS_STEM students have done a few collaborative projects using the elementary students as 'clients' design and engineering projects. Hoping to do more. #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

A2: STEAM is the DREAM in my mind. Difficult to find time for "making projects work" and making them pretty. (combining with other scheduled time like business @callie is a great idea.)

@kim I agree and find that building enthusiasm is more challenging than you'd think because students have varied interests and they are conditioned toward 'right and wrong'

A1: Ideal STEM class I envisage to be filled with enthusiasm and out of the box thinking #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

Q2. How are you able to collaborate to innovate learning in other subject areas? #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

Yes, at AIS-R, #STEM is a dedicated class. (some elements of Design Tech and programming, robotics...too much to do really) #nesachat

[Ian featherer @HS_STEM_Guy]

A1: STEM? Messy, exciting, HUGE

Chet, it's confusing because it looks different @ various schools. At ais-r we emphasize a project based environment. https://t.co/Uu7nyE4mBh

A1. I find myself not knowing what a STEM "program" is, exactly. AISR? #nesachat

When you are answering a question respond by referencing the question - ie Q1 respond with A1. Let us #nesachat
