2 Magnifying the t in STEM for TK-2 There are many ways to integrate technology in your primary classroom to increase engagement and the use of the 4Cs: communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. Several ideas and examples of students and teachers integrating technology with Math, Science, Engineering and Language Arts in their classrooms will be shared from our Curiosity Magnified STEM Grant for TK-2 teachers.

3 Curiosity magnified! Curiosity Magnified STEM Partnership (CMSP) is a K-2 STEM CaMSP Grant for Shasta County teachers funded through the California Department of Education.

4 Curiosity magnified! Students are: Inquisitive Exploring Investigating Creating Excited

6 Science and engineering pract ices Obtain evaluate and communicate information Develop and use models Analyze and interpret data Construct explanations and design solutions Ask questions and define a problem Plan and carry out investigations Use mathematical and computational thinking Engage in an argument from evidence

7 Look what they can do! (Yes, even in kindergarten) Kindergartners used a stop motion movie program to create math videos!

8 Why make movies? Students already associate it with something fun It can be used as an informal assessment of their understanding Possibilities are endless... Student collaboration Group Projects Share outs Reflections Feedback

9 Stop motion studios -- /goo.gl/ukwjuq For phones, ipads, and Chromebooks Stop Motion Videos make objects, like Lego Men, look like they move on their own.
