Digital Equity Webinar – MAET Bridge

~ Kyle Shack ~ Leave a comment

This afternoon I was honored to participate in a webinar with a fantastic panel of educators. We had the opportunity to discuss digital equity, technology integration, BYOD and many other EdTech topics.

The elite panel included: Heidi Gascon an MAET alum and Instructional Technology Specialist at Ingham ISD, and Michele Ellis a middle school ELA and science teacher at Williamston Community Schools.

Facilitating our discussion was an equally amazing and impressive group of MAET year two students: Alex Miller, Jon Gere and Chris Armour.

The MAET Bridge series provides a wealth of webinars featuring exceptional educators addressing a myriad of educational topics. You can view this webinar below, and the archive of MAET Bridge webinars here.

A Teacher’s Quick and Dirty Guide to Cosmos

~ Kyle Shack ~ Leave a comment

For the past two summers, I have had the privilege to work with an amazing collection of teachers as a part of the MSU-Wipro STEM & Leadership Teaching Fellowship. One of my favorite aspects of spending my summer as an MSUrbanSTEM instructor is seeing the amazing artifacts that can be created in such a short amount of time by this world class collection of educators. This year, the fellows read Cosmos by Carl Sagan in preparation for our summer session.  Over the course of only a few days, and intermingled with a myriad of other tasks and assignment, the fellows crafted this amazing resource for other educators – A Teacher’s Quick and Dirty Guide to Cosmos.
