-STEM projects; hands-on; experience based learning
-trial and failure; experiment
-grades based on the steps of the project versus just the end "right or wrong" answer
-Real world applications
- how to use "math" or other subjects to get jobs outside of that specific subject (i.e. math degree does not always mean just a math teacher) 
- coding 
- how to apply these subjects in other jobs
- integrate vocational paths into traditional book learning]]> 2018-11-28 01:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mkmccarty/ulfcwd96wk8q/wish/308599026 Technology and Change https://padlet.com/mkmccarty/ulfcwd96wk8q/wish/308599031 More technology, schools should acknowledge the change for technology. Self-learning is very important, people should be allowed an opportunity to learn based on their career choices in life. People should be encouraged to explore their own career choices with the help of the administrators. More visitors would definitely help with the learning of students. Field trips would also help us with our learning. Technology is very important in this age, and we should encourage the use. ]]> 2018-11-28 01:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mkmccarty/ulfcwd96wk8q/wish/308599031 Southwest Experience https://padlet.com/mkmccarty/ulfcwd96wk8q/wish/308599035 -Different styles of learning

Kids being more involved and learning in different ways. Less talking, more moving. Making connections. Real-world applications. Less structure, meaning adaptable learning. Not having a set learning schedule. Being able to use your senses. Practicing communication and being able to understand what students want to learn. Teachers should be flexible and be able to change lesson plans to teach students in different ways. Being able to be creative and problem solve while following test-based learning. Teachers should be more open to new learning techniques and being able to see how each student works. Multiple ways to demonstrate competence. ]]> 2018-11-28 01:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mkmccarty/ulfcwd96wk8q/wish/308599045 The Southwest Experience https://padlet.com/mkmccarty/ulfcwd96wk8q/wish/308599053 -Group problems and experiences
