MESSENGER and Technology Integration With Classroom Instruction That Works
-
Today's classroom instructional strategies need to be paired with technology tools that engage the learner, enhance instruction, and improve student achievement. Join Brenda Conway, Corey J. Peloquin, and Julie Ball to learn how Marzano's Classroom Instruction That Works can be aligned with technology tools to engage students and assess student learning, and try some hands-on lessons from the NASA MESSENGER education modules. Aligned with the National Science Education Standards and Benchmarks for Science Literacy, these modules focus on solar system science, solar system exploration through history, and the challenges faced by scientists and engineers when they send a spacecraft to another world. Since solar system exploration is part of every state's science standards and this is the International Year of Astronomy, these lessons offer a powerful way to meet standards while bringing current space science topics to the classroom and integrating technology that is meaningful and meets the needs of our 21st-century learners. Leave this short course with an understanding of how to connect classroom strategies with the best technology tool to improve and assess student achievement. You'll also receive MESSENGER education modules, technology resources, and templates that can be implemented in any classroom. Bring your own laptop if you like.
