Framing the issue Initially I framed the issue as ‘how to promote learning engagement in STEM’ based on my personal experience in learning math and science. I am always highly self-motivated and engaged in challenging tasks and tend to use technology to solve my problems, which result in low barriers to understand abstract concepts and …
I appreciate this opportunity to compare and contrast 4 TELEs after learning some challenging topics in math and science classrooms. They all present effective knowledge constructions through inquiry-based learning activities facilitated by technologies, with different highlights and limitations. Among the 4 cases provided by the course content, I particularly love the My World and related …

LfU Copy your response from Week 8 Discussion: LfU Forum into your e-folios: “Using additional literature from the field of science education, what are several conceptual challenges students might have today with understanding Earth Science that LfU might support? Google Earth Activities for Learning Energy Theories” After looking into the LfU framework and exploring some …
Compose two entries for your inquiry e-folio option: In addition to a copy of your discussion post for this week, add a commentary on your perspectives after the symposium in your inquiry e-folio, for a total of 2 required entries. I resonated with Shulman’s statement of how a knowledgeable teacher that knows general pedagogical strategies …
Copy your definition from Week 5 Discussion: Definitions of Technology as an entry: David Jonassen’s (2000) analogy of the interplay between learning technology appeals to me. He suggests educational technologies are just a set of tools for students to get access to meaningful thinking. His metaphor is a vivid exhibit of constructionism and provokes educators …
“The activities of module A lesson two will be handled differently this term. In an effort to lighten your workload due to the pandemic, you will not be performing your own case study interviews. You may disregard the pages titled “Week 3 Discussion: Share an Abstract of Your Interview” and “Interview Consent Form.” You will …

My initial thoughts for assignment 1 are: how to effectively integrate technologies to promote learning engagement in math and science classrooms. In the previous discussion, I wrote the ‘good use of technology in learning math and science could be leveraged to solve math and science classrooms’ most challenging problem: learning engagements including positive motion, efforts …
Notes on Jan 24: My choice of assignment 2 will go to option 1: Inquiry e-Folio Instead of designing a STEM learning experience, as an administrator working closely with new edtech developers, I would like to… 1. to understand the challenges that educators encounter in math and science courses by adding more scholarly research into …
