Teach STEM Skills in Your Classroom Through eCYBERMISSION
|
This Web Seminar took place on November 8, 2012, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern
Time. The presenters were Brian Short and Larry Cain at NSTA. In this program Mr.
Short and Mr. Cain shared information about eCYBERMISSION, a free, web-based STEM competition for students
in grades 6–9 that aligns with state Science Standards.
The PowerPoint, related resources from the NSTA Learning Center, and web links from
the presentation are now contained in the above resource collection. Clicking on
the collection link will place it in your Learning Center, My Library,
neatly organized under the My Resource Collections tab.
In this seminar Mr. Short and Mr. Cain provided an overview of eCYBERMISSION, then
offered strategies for each phase of a mission challenge. Participating educators
learned how to guide students in selecting a topic, writing a problem statement,
collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions to share in a final presentation.
Throughout the web seminar participants responded to questions that got them thinking
about ways to apply the strategies to their own classrooms and lead their students
in a successful mission challenge.
Seminar participants received one of the NSTA SciGuides. A certificate
of attendance was deposited into participants' My PD Record and Certificates
area in the NSTA Learning Center for completing the evaluation form at the end of
the program.
Here are some comments provided by the participants at the end of the Web Seminar:
- “It was a great use of my time. It was well constructed and I enjoyed
the frequent surveys and question and answer sections.”
- “I appreciated getting fast answers to questions.”
- “Appreciated the detailed information regarding each phase of the program.”
Thanks to the participants and the presenter for the learning opportunity, the interactions,
and a job well done!
