We are trying something new! We are hosting a Virtual STEM Day on the half-day before we dismiss for Christmas. It will involve students/families choosing from among 3 STEM Challenges, completing the challenges and reflecting on their design and construction, submitting their findings via Gmail and Google Classroom, and then asking parents to respond to a Google Forms survey regarding their children's ability to work independently, their tech-readiness, and more.
We have worked to think through pitfalls and ready ourselves.
One piece-- What will it look like to submit the product on the student side of things? These fourth graders are stepping through the process with third grade teachers.
Teachers are no longer the holders-of-all-knowledge. Students and teachers can collaborate and learn from one another!
