Overview

In this hands-on professional learning session, educators will explore how to integrate Texas Instruments Lab Probes into their science and mathematics instruction to elevate student engagement and understanding. Participants will learn how to use technology to collect real-time data, analyze patterns, and connect classroom concepts to authentic, inquiry-based investigations. This session will focus on practical classroom applications, data-driven discussions, and strategies to support students in making sense of scientific and mathematical phenomena through the use of TI technology.

Teacher noticing is emerging as one of the most fundamental skills that effective educators need to develop. Being better at noticing helps a teacher pay better attention to critical things that happen in a classroom, make sense of those things more meaningfully, and respond to them more productively. And the value of noticing extends beyond the classroom … taking time to notice things in the world around us can enrich our lives tremendously. This session will focus on helping participants strengthen their noticing capacities — both in relation to their STEM discipline and to exploring the world around them.
