Main focus: STEAM thru robototechnic (Lego Education), 3D Art, STEM progams (FLL, WRO)]]> 2017-04-03 20:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/my_kwit/LearningDiary/wish/164476317 my_kwit https://padlet.com/my_kwit/LearningDiary/wish/165771487 way of defining STEM skills is by linking them to STEM occupations. For instance, this study identified 30 STEM occupations (concerning those that most utilize STEM skills). The results ranged from mathematicians, chemists, civil engineers (among many kinds of engineers), to statisticians or agricultural technicians.
For that reason, we need to show students how the acquisition of STEM skills will open the doors to a variety of professions (both inside and outside of the STEM fields). In the ‘Future Morph’ website, you will find a series of videos on how different professionals use math and science in STEM and non-STEM jobs. From a bakery manager to a glass artist, you can use these videos to show your students that STEM skills and knowledge are valuable in almost any career. ]]> 2017-04-10 20:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/my_kwit/LearningDiary/wish/165771487 my_kwit https://padlet.com/my_kwit/LearningDiary/wish/165773590 students that are able to understand how different skills are interrelated and who equally possess a variety of them
For that matter, it is necessary to start adapting science lessons and to focus them on teaching pupils the skills and competences they will need for future professions. Moreover, this new environment will have significant implications for future workers, who will need to engage and support evolving innovative situations, which will demand individuals to attain high levels of digital and ICT skills.
the first thing that comes to mind is the contrast between the use of technologies in everyday life and its limited application in schools. In order to prepare the workers of tomorrow’s digital society, it is necessary to start by tackling general digital skills proficiency. It should be a priority in formal education systems to address the need to raise the level of digital skills of both pupils and teachers]]> 2017-04-10 20:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/my_kwit/LearningDiary/wish/165773590 my_kwit https://padlet.com/my_kwit/LearningDiary/wish/166873878

Soft skills such as resilience, self-control and time management can be incorporated through pedagogical approaches like project-based learning and inquiry based science education (which will be further explained in the coming sections). 

In general, group work activities are always an opportunity to integrate soft skills in the classroom. Problem solving tasks can be a chance for pupils to engage in social skills. The freedom of working in groups will help students to develop time-management and self-control abilities, emphasizing the notion of self-regulation and time-on-task. Last, working in small groups can also encourage quiet students to express their thoughts in a more comfortable manner. (Concordia University, 2016)

Incorporating student self-assessment into lessons is another way to promote soft skills. While students can measure their knowledge attainment through tests, they do not always take time to reflect on their own work, on what is challenging them and in what areas are they succeeding. Having students review their own work will also help them develop resilience and add a goal setting approach to their educational experiences

Five Keys to Rigorous Project-Based Learning

• Kahoot is a free game-based learning platform that helps educators create a collection of questions on specific topics while creating a game-like learning environment. Through this platform, you can create quizzes, discussion and surveys about any topic of your choice.
• Classflow is cloud-based platform that allows teachers to create interactive lessons in a single place, while (at the same time) pulling in resources from anywhere.
• PhET simulations are free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. These are written in Java, Flash or HTML5, and can be run online or downloaded from any computer. PhET is designed to encourage scientific inquiry and to provide interactivity among students.
