Using Media to Teach Energy and Matter in Ecosystems: A STEM Professional Development Module
Consider how videos, interactives, and other forms of digital media can help teachers and students explore ecology-related topics in an engaging and dynamic way, in this STEM Professional Development module for middle school life sciences teachers. Using a self-paced interactive lesson format, teachers review science concepts, take notes, and engage with other short assessment activities. At the end of the module, teachers complete a final assignment that reflects their developing perspective on the value and affordances of media in science instruction.
