Technology Brings STEM to Struggling Students
|
See you in 2010! Harness the Power of Technology to Bring STEM to Life for Struggling Students With today’s constantly changing technologies and workplaces, it is critical that students receive a solid foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Engage students in activities that teach valuable skills and envision themselves as STEM professionals. Interactive activities make students more likely to continue STEM coursework beyond high school. See CITEd’s Using Multimedia Tools to Help Students Learn Science for more information. With broadband technology, students can attend lectures with scientists, pose questions to experts in a variety of fields, and make connections between STEM and everyday life. Check out some of our favorite resources below to bring scientists from around the world into the classroom.

TechSoup Assistive Technology Webinar
The main focus of this hour long web event is to provide you with plain language info on making public access computers much more accessible – at little or no cost to you.
Kami Griffiths from TechSoup will interview the great Jane Vincent from Center for Accessible Technology and Beth Berenson from Lighthouse for the Blind. They will discuss both hardware and software accessibility solutions, their costs and what it takes to get started. This is also a chance for you to ask any and all computer accessibility questions.
This webinar is ideal for anyone who manages or volunteers in a public computer center, either in a library, housing development or social service agency. But also applicable to IT managers looking to better address staff needs.
