This is a great program that’s designed to get kids in grades 4-8 more interested in #STEM related fields.

Met this group at #TCEA and they gave me these little pocket trinkets every time they saw me. 🥹 More people in this world should give pocket hugs.❤️ #edusky #tcea2025 #stemeducation06 Feb 2025 21:10 +0000at://did:plc:23hsbogk75i6hrzdehyul67f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhjyqg5a3c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/bthal.bsky.social/post/3lheknad3pc2cLoving the vibes at #TCEA!

Thanks for moderating @mrnesi.bsky.social !03 Dec 2024 02:37 +0000at://did:plc:23hsbogk75i6hrzdehyul67f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcemarauhs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/bthal.bsky.social/post/3lcelqvzyrk2fA3) There are so many choices now, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Pick 1-2 things and work on teaching/learning about those. Dont be afraid to be uncomfortable. It’s ok if your Ss know more about a topic (let’s say podcasting).Have them teach you while they teach others! #eduskychat [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Dec 2024 02:29 +0000at://did:plc:23hsbogk75i6hrzdehyul67f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcelqvzyrk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/bthal.bsky.social/post/3lceldob3kk2fA2) I don’t think it’s too hard to convince them to be content creators. Even the introverts can create written content! I think the hardest part is demonstrating how/why to use it responsibly…to understand what digital citizenship and digital footprints really mean. #eduskychat [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Dec 2024 02:21 +0000at://did:plc:23hsbogk75i6hrzdehyul67f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lceldob3kk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/bthal.bsky.social/post/3lcektw7abs2fA1) One of the few good things to come out of Covid was the ability to get creative in class. Video obviously took off! I also got my Ss into blogging and some web design because they are real world skills. They also took turns (w/ my guidance) posting social content for our class on IG. #eduskychat [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Dec 2024 02:12 +0000at://did:plc:23hsbogk75i6hrzdehyul67f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcektw7abs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/bthal.bsky.social/post/3lcekdthkjs2fHello #eduskychat!
