Advancements in technology have had a huge effect on the ability to communicate which can assist educators in communicating with students, parents, the community, and to gather and share information worldwide.
Part 1: Infographic
For this assignment, select a grade level and research three online resources that promote communication and collaboration.
Create an infographic that demonstrates how the communication and collaboration tools will be utilized in your future STEM classroom.
Your infographic must include the following information for each of the three tools you selected:
A detailed description of each communication/collaboration tool.
How each tool promotes students’ communication and/or collaboration and helps to meet the learning objectives.
The steps implemented in the classroom to ensure the legal, ethical, and safe use of the resources.
One of your resources should include how you will use your communication tool to communicate effectively with parents.
Part 2: Learning Activity
For Part 2 of this assignment, you will use the “STEM Learning Activity” template to create a learning activity that is based on one of the communication resources you chose for your infographic. Your learning activity must be centered on a STEM activity and should include:
Two STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) standards
1-2 Learning Objectives
Communication/Collaboration Tool
100-150 word description of the learning activity including how the communication resource will be used to enhance the learning activity.
Formative assessment at the end of the learning activity to assess the students’ progress in achieving the learning objectives.
