Since Legos are such a widely known product our session will ignite creativity: all attendees will actively participate. Active participation was our goal as we set out to utilize this platform to increase teacher utilization of STEAM activities within their classroom. As instructional technology facilitators we led with Legos to provide opportunities for engagement, inclusion and creative problem solving. We started with breaking down the teaching behaviors we wished to increase, added manipulatives and Led with Legos. The same will be true of our session. If you want to increase STEAM you have to first gain confidence and start with a simple brick. Then decide which designs will lead to success and which ones might be a pitfall that needs to be reimagined and redesigned for the best solution. In the background teachers will be exploring ways to build groups that consist of student roles, reinforce communication skills like listening, speaking, and construction of written products. Teachers who participated in our program have had opportunities to observe the process, practice the process in their classroom with support, and modify and create their own learning opportunities in their classrooms that meet their students needs.
