Science 
Technology 
Engineering 
Mathematics 
~These disciplines are widely viewed as a way to increase innovation and skill level 
~In response, many educators are advocating for STEAM: 
~add on of Art+
~This will engage students  in a multidisciplinary learning that will help break down barriers
~Offers learners the opportunity to make new connections 
~Educators can work across discipline areas to develop projects and goals that provide students with a new perspective:
~allows for real world connections 
~knowledge and skill sets ]]> 2019-04-19 17:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352787415 nrolson95 https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352787442 ~ The integration of dance, drama, and the visual arts into subjects like math and science can further help students engage with subjects in new ways. 
~Learning through inquiry: explore and share knowledge, construct answers to questions, and creatively design solutions to problems 
~Students begin to value the actual learning process and leave themselves room for flexible outcomes 
~Initiative, trial and error, expressing their knowledge in new ways 
~Creative process and scientific method 
~Fosters: curiosity, inquiry, inventive thinking, experimentation, and multiple revisions
~Incorporating dance, drama, and visual arts into core subjects such as ELA and Math help students engage with subjects in new ways 
~Researchers have found that learning to use artistic methods in learning increases skills such as problem-solving, goal setting, and flexible thinking ]]> 2019-04-19 17:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352787442 nrolson95 https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352787690 ~Rethinking the role of teachers: teachers are expected to adapt to the technology-based approaches. Teachers must now take on more responsibility-- Responsible for addressing social and emotional factors, mentoring students, model responsible global citizenship and many others
~Teaching computational Thinking: As curriculum builds, the development of complex thinking builds as well. This is something that teachers and future teachers must be prepared to do for students. It is essential for young people to learn how to be computational thinkers
~The Achievement Gap: Just as educators have seen before, an achievement gap when using STEAM education can still exist. Our students all come from different backgrounds, experiences, and families that may effect their connection with STEAM education
~Sustaining Innovation: Resources, funding, and time are all components that are limited and could be difficult to sustain for long periods of time]]> 2019-04-19 17:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352787690 nrolson95 https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352788850 ~As we move forward in schools, there are many different technologies being added to schools
~If schools adopt a culture of innovation- then deeper learning becomes possible 
~Empowers educators and students 
~By adopting the mindset of innovation, schools will begin to see more engagement and digital citizenship 
~Many different trends emerging in the world of education:
~Redesigning Learning Spaces
~Focus on Measurable Learning
~STEAM Learning 
~Coding as Literacy ]]> 2019-04-19 18:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nrolson95/phf1zk5ye24x/wish/352788850
