STEM education provides many opportunities and challenges. How can our practice evolve to meet the needs of 21st-century learners?
Launching #scichat: An ongoing discussion about science education.
#scichat will engage educators and scientists in an ongoing discussion with the goal of sharing ideas, growing professionally and improving the teaching of science. The discussion will be moderated by Eric Brunsell (Assistant Professor of Science Education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh) and Jeff Goldstein (Director of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education). #scichat is a partnership of Edutopia, The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Excel Center.
#scichat will start on Tuesday, June 8th at 9:00 PM (ET) / 6:00 PM (PT). A primer on how to use Twitter will be available soon.

Greetings...just learned of this group through an Intel Workshop and I am more than ever looking forward to another exciting year of science education. I can use all of the good information that I can get. If you haven't heard, there is supposed to be an amazing display of the Northern Lights this evening. Peace, Scott
