This week, along with last week, and I think kind of along with next week, really are the first stages, with mostly lots of online research, figuring out when events are happening and creating outlines for the big projects. I think by week 5, I will have had most of the online research done and really be jumping into turning the outline plans into an official 40 minute plan, hopefully have met with more people and hopefully really be diving into developing the research. Of course, I am sure I will be doing online research at the same time, but definitely these first few weeks have been building up my knowledge of topics I do not know much about to help me understand STEAM education to the best of my ability and create a plan that would be fun to teach kids.
I think I really just struggled with finding tasks for how to teach STEAM education, but with this next week’s tasks, I am hoping I will learn so much more about what STEAM education is and how to teach it in fun and cool ways. I think this week was a little more dead than the first two weeks. It was a lot of personal outlining, such as developing this website more, creating a timeline. But, based on my week 4 tasks, I can already see that I will have a lot more to publish next week.
