Harnessing edtech for deeper science engagement


Combining interactive edtech resources with student choice will encourage engagement, ownership, and ultimately academic success

Throughout my career as a science educator in Colorado, Washington, and now in Florida, I've collaborated with many tremendous educators to solve the challenge of engaging students in science. Over time and through trial and error, we've learned the importance of engaging students in relevant content that is meaningful to them, engaging them in monitoring their own learning, or engaging them through strategies that make learning accessible.

However, I believe the most important factor in achieving a high level of student engagement in science is providing opportunities for students to participate in active learning experiences. As the K-12 science coordinator in a medium-sized school district in Central Florida, it is a critical part of my team’s work to find and create these opportunities and share them with teachers across the district.
