My Students Discover experience so far has been one filled with many challenges and successes. \u00a0Surprisingly enough, my team came up with lesson ideas with ease. \u00a0I think the nature of the project we\u2019re working with really lent itself to grade-level-appropriate and content-related lessons, so we were certainly lucky in that regard. \u00a0I also have to give a shoutout to my team, while I\u2019m on the subject. \u00a0We have a really great dynamic – Stephanie works really well with us non-science folks, helping to bridge the gap and teach us when we\u2019re not sure what\u2019s going on, really making the content accessible. \u00a0Lena is a seasoned teacher with great knowledge and experience about teaching. \u00a0Her background in elementary education and teaching AG has been really helpful when it comes to literacy and differentiation, which is something we\u2019ve tried to highlight in our lessons. \u00a0Rachael has a background in science, so she has been really encouraging when we don\u2019t fully understand the science we\u2019re working with, and loves to get work done! \u00a0I\u2019ve been lucky to work with such great teammates, and I can\u2019t wait for the rest of our experience!<\/span><\/p>\n

One of our greatest challenges was trying to incorporate ways to collect data within lessons, keeping them aligned with the standards. \u00a0We were able to think of great lessons using data that already exists; but, in order to help contribute to the eMammal Citizen Science project, we have to find a way to collect data in our lessons – or, at least in one lesson. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another challenge we\u2019ve had has been making the data and lessons accessible to as many people as possible. \u00a0Because our study uses a very specific software program – one that is only available on computers, not on tablets or iPads – we are going to have to come up with ways to make the information accessible to teachers who may not have these technology resources. \u00a0The struggle has been productive, however, because we\u2019ve been able to give lots of constructive feedback to the eMammal team about how to improve their website and make the project accessible to all. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
