The big idea that I am going to work on through my imagineIT project this year is getting students, particularly females, to think like engineers. This is a project that I will work on in my classroom but the majority of this project will use before and after school time to work with girls in encouraging them to take risks in thinking, create, and explore careers that they did not know existed in STEM areas. Many of our students are bright thinkers, but they are not made aware of careers where they can utilize these skills once they attend college. In classrooms I often times see students working in groups and afraid to share their ideas because they have not been given the chance to learn how to take risks mathematically. My goal is to work with these students in developing self confidence in their skills, and also show them that it’s OK to take risks and fail.
The tool(s) that I used to create this video was PowToon. The website has templates that you could customize to make it easy to work with if you are just starting out creating these types of videos. |
