How can you visualize information better?

Great Job with your project presentations, or roundtable presentations, GUTS folks.

What have you learned about modeling?

Tomorrow the Challenge projects will be presented.

See you at Socorro Springs at 5:30.

• Was progress made on your project today?
• Did you understand the parallel processing activity?
  With desktop computers coming with 2, 4, 8 or more cores (processors), we need
  to be thinking how to take advantage of all the processors, and the concerns about
  having them efficiently produce the correct answers.
• Will showing student possible future careers help keep them interested in STEM?
  

Any questions about judging? Will you be able to use the rubrics with your teams?

GUTS folks, how was pixelated paths?

NetLogo folks, projects progressing?

What steps can you take to increase or decrease your carbon footprint?

How can you help your students accurately cite references?

What professional societies are you a part of? Are you interested in CSTA or ISTE?

Getting "UnStuck"--How do we measure success?

Will you help us reach the goal of 50% female participation next year?

How did today go?

GUTS folks: How will the binder of material help you?

NetLogo folks: How are your projects coming along?

Tuesday-picture day with Challenge t-shirts.

So, how did you like those nachos?

Please tell us three things are working for you, three things that are not working and three things we all have to work on.

Jerry would like you to reflect here about how you were a hero (heroine) to someone. Over the weekend, think about what you will do this coming year to be a hero and be prepared to share that on Monday.

Tomorrow we would like the NetLogo teachers to select a project to work on together next week.

The GUTS teachers will be working on two units in preparation for the coming school year.

Questions:

1. What did you learn from the Keynote speaker?

2. Are you getting the hang of TNG or NetLogo? What's missing - are there concepts or aspects you have questions about, that haven't been addressed yet?

3. How can you data mine with your kids?

4. Using Jerry's framework, how will that help unsticking kids?
