At FX Palo Alto Laboratory, research projects are shared among researchers using the Git and GitHub collaboration tools. GitHub and Git are essential technologies for sharing coding with other programmers.
True collaboration is difficult to achieve. We all have different ideas about achieving an objective. Often we are reticent in abandoning our ideas in favor of someone else’s. A collaborative approach can help to move a project forward.
Have your students ever wondered how drugs are tested before they come to market? Or how researchers choose their clinical research participants?
Often in the science classroom, I have students create and give a presentation that highlights what they learned about a topic.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a balloon “rocket” that uses a straw and various types of string to travel a distance in the fastest possible time.
In small groups, students will design a product or idea that incorporates one of the major ideas covered in first semester of Calculus. The students have to use the concepts covered in class in order to explain why their product or idea would improve on the current status quo.
The goal of this ETP is to engage my colleagues in a meaningful discussion and activity around collaboration. Collaboration is a 21st century skill educators strive to model and teach to their students.
Effective collaboration and communication is a key element to any workplace. This ETP will address developing and implementing technology to streamline professional norms and collaboration during weekly Professional Development meetings in the 7th grade team of educators.
This statistics activity promotes working with a team to accomplish a project that requires collaboration, data collection, research, and ability to use technology to communicate your results within a short deadline.
