“Teacher training and PD at schools of education now focuses more heavily on STEAM, and how ed tech can power instruction in a blend of math, science and the arts. “What we hear from principals and superintendents and teachers is that teachers don’t need help with technology,” says Gwynne Rife, chair of advanced professional programs at University of Findlay in Ohio. “Teachers need help with how to use technology for instruction and how to make a real difference in class.” Findlay’s online master’s program in STEAM education covers differentiated instruction, inquiry-based science, robotics, coding, artificial intelligence and makerspaces, among other topics.” (more)
