What’s Changed in Lesson Planning

Ask a Tech Teacher

For example, spreadsheets should teach critical thinking and data analysis, not Excel or Sheets. Just as students learned to survive a physical community of strangers, they must do so in a digital neighborhood. Lesson plans must reflect those skills. What students use at school may not be what their future employer requires.

What is the 21st Century Lesson Plan?

Ask a Tech Teacher

For example, when teaching spreadsheets, make the software or online tools a vehicle for practicing critical thinking, data analysis, and evidence-based learning, not for learning one brand of software or a particular spreadsheet tool. To focus on the over-arching concepts above, make learning platform-neutral.

What is Particle Physics? Watch Particle Physicist Claire Malone Discover Undiscovered Particles at Work

Smore Science

Hunting for new particles involves analyzing lots of data from a detector at CERN. To do this I have to write computer code to instruct the computer which calculations to perform to tell us something useful about the data. Modern particle physics experiments are often the size of a large cave and are very complicated to build and use.

The Broad Field of Engineering — Interview w/ Jesse Burton

STEM Education Works

I decided after my freshman year to transfer to a dual degree program in Physics and Electrical Engineering with Butler University and Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) to expand my options. I can share my favorite part of this job, which was performing data analysis for flight test data in a hardware lab.
