I am not
certain if we are supposed to reflect on the class as well. Either way I thought class was helpful last
night. Thank you for spending some time
pointing out different math, engineering, science, and technology connections
for the Round Island Discussion we began a few weeks ago. I don’t feel that I always contribute much to
the discussions because quite honestly I feel like I need to just do this more
in order to understand better how to include each component of STEM in my
lessons. I appreciate that you are
giving us some room to improve as we go along.
Thank you for guiding us through this process. I feel a lot like Debbie does; she mentioned
just not always knowing what to do. I
think as we progress through this class that feeling of “not-knowing” will
become less prevalent.

ReplyDeleteGreat job with your conversions, Sara!
ReplyDeleteWith regard to the class, yes, we are very happy to have you putting out the effort to learn about what you don't know - it's challenging! The STEM connections you gain during class will help you make similar connections in your own classes (and likely in your life :)
