SHOWCASE PRESENTATIONS:
Bio/STEAM Collaboration on Sustainability Plum: Tamar McPherson, 10-12 PreCalc, Physics, AP CSP Bioengineering is a broad discipline and includes more than just medicine. Through our participation in Pitt’s Research Experience for Teachers internship, we were able to bring biology and engineering together via the topics of sustainability and hydroponics. STEAM Studio and Biology students collaborated to design a hydroponics system for the Life Skills students to grow healthy tomatoes and other vegetables for their teaching kitchen and created a promotional video in CoSpaces EDU. Twitter: @teachme124 |
Collaborative PBL Burrell: Melinda Kulick, BCIT K-5 + James Croushore, Principal We know students learn best when they are interested in the topic presented. How can you reach and excite all students at the same time while holding their attention through through an entire project? The answer is through collaborative project-based learning (PBL). This session can benefit anyone K-12 with an open mind and interest in taking their curriculum to the next level. The collaborative experience of elementary specialists (art, business/tech, music and phys ed) will be shared how this learning approach, at any level, can engage students and connect them to the real-world around them. Twitter: @burrellelemtech @jcroushore |

"Making" Engineering and other STE(A)M Connections CREATE Lab Partner Carlow University: Suzanne Ament, STEAM + Projects Coordinator + Stephanie Conrad, Montessori Teacher Materials? Mess? Tools? What are the biggest obstacles to using maker projects in your classroom? The Campus Laboratory School Mobile Maker Space provides accessible resources for implementing important “maker” activities into daily classroom instruction. Research recommends that resources for “making” should be distributed throughout the students’ environment so that they provide a logical recourse for problem solving challenges. The Engineering and Technology strands of the curriculum are particularly valuable in engaging students who are not drawn to traditional school subjects and provide an attractive entry point for their studies. Classes incorporate the engineering design cycle (building on successive iterations) and CREATE Lab technologies, which provide a model for developing persistence in the face of challenge. Twitter: @SRAment |
Making Made Special Allegheny Intermediate Unit: Beth Whitney, Elementary Emotional Support Teacher + Robert DeFillippo, Secondary Autistic Support Teacher Through innovative and differentiated and assessments that focus on engaging STEAM and computer science activities, the TEAMS model will help catalyze student engagement, through equitable access for students with severe cognitive and emotional disabilities. With a strong focus on project-based learning and classroom norms we support students in igniting their natural curiosity and help them develop problem-solving skills. Twitter: @grlnamedbeth @Robert_Def_EDU |
School Retool: Stories from Administrators about Hacking Schools Allegheny Valley: Brett Slezak, Supervisor of Technology + Patrick Graczyk, Superintendent Members of the latest School Retool cohort, a design thinking program at Stanford's d.School, share their experiences in changing school culture through small "hacks" like Shadowing students and putting your desk in the hallway, to build empathy for the student experience. Twitter: @avphysed |
Social Equity into a Technology Classroom Freeport: Beth Zboran, High School Computer Technology Teacher, 10-12 web design, information science, programming My web design class lessons were "click here, click there". At the end of the semester each student would create a website on a topic of their choice. I encouraged students to write about social issues or current events with little success. Then I started reading a novel in my web design class and things changed! We read "The Hate You Give" by Angie Thomas, and used that novel for class discussions. Along with learning web design, students learned about people different than themselves and the issues they face. Class discussions around social issues and current events came more easily. Final web projects were interesting, engaging and helped students to stretch their thinking about social equity. |
Statistics into Stories: Visual Representations of Data West Liberty University: Lou Karas, Director, Center for Arts & Education This session will explore the ways students can collect and analyze day-to-day and personal data, use the information to create “data portraits” ~ “selfies” made out of data points. They can then use the visual representations to tell their stories and to analyze individual and group statistics. Examples of activities suitable for 3rd through 12th grade and beyond will be shared. Twitter: @WLUCtr4Arts&Ed |
STEAM in a Secondary Literature Classroom Burrell: Darcy Holtzman, High School Literature Teacher Having trouble figuring out how to integrate STEAM into your Lit class? Me too! With all of the skills and curriculum required for a Literature class, where does STEAM fit? This session will discuss the importance of cross-curricular projects in a high school Literature classroom, as well as, how to incorporate different aspects of STEAM into your lessons. We will look at some sample projects and discuss ideas in a round table forum. Twitter: @buccoenglish |
STEAM in ELA: The Great Gatsby STEAM in ELA: The Great Gatsby Gateway: Lauren DeMaria, High School English Teacher In this session, we would explore literary terms and symbolism in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby using both the Google platform and physical props like water bottles, water, oil, food coloring, and beads to demonstrate knowledge of literary terms, color symbolism in the novel, and the symbolism of the iconic last line. |
STEM/STEAM from the Student Perspective Kiski Area: Dan Smith, Supervisor of Technology Integration, K-12 Technology Coach Students: Jean Starr, Zach Horwat, Nick Lang College and Career Ready-We've all used and heard this term to describe the positive changes in our educational system. But what about Students? In today's world students are at the heart of every decision, but do they have a voice in the development of STEM/STEAM learning? Join our student panel to ask questions of what students hope to accomplish during the K-12 careers. Twitter: @smithdan410 |
Teacher Tune Up-Lesson Plans Inspired by The Fluency Project at CMU Carlynton: Kristen Fischer, High School English Teacher + Wendy Steiner, High School English Teacher Inquiry-Case Making-Advocacy: these are the key components of The Fluency Project. Designing lessons that meet all three components is not as easy as one would imagine. Wendy Steiner & Kristen Fischer are in their third year of The Fluency Project and have reworked many of their plans to incorporate the ICMA Model. Do you have a lesson or unit that could benefit from a tune up? Are you interested in helping your students become agents of change? Creators of technology not consumers?
