Teacher Workshops
Using Online Role-Play Games to Teach about Experimental Design Methods and STEM Careers
Date: July 13-14, 2015
Time: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Location:
CDC Headquarters 1600 Clifton Rd., NE Atlanta, GA 30333
Details:
Join us for a two-day workshop that will involve innovative ways to teach Practices of Science through online scenarios. Two websites will be explored that will allow students to role-play a variety of STEM careers, while they learn experimental processes and science content. Both web sites have been student-tested and prove effective in teaching science content and the experimental design process. The web sites and accompanying hands-on activities are free and aligned with science standards.
The workshop is free of cost, and a boxed lunch will be provided for participants each day.
The workshop will culminate with a tour of a portion CDC facilities (subject change based on security level) and exposure to the CDC's teaching resources.
Presenters:
Lynn Lauterbach and Kristi Bowling
