SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LEADERS TACKLE CRITICAL K-12 ISSUES AT MCGRAW-HILL EDUCATION’S ‘2010 SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM’ JANUARY 29-30

Hi Dr. Petrosino,

 

I noticed that you’ve covered issues relating to STEM education on your blog, and I thought that you might be interested in attending or writing about this weekend’s 2010 Science Symposium, where some of the country’s top educators, thought leaders and administrators will be discussing key issues in K-12 science education, including how to best utilize and incorporate technology in the classroom. McGraw-Hill is sponsoring the event, which is being held at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

 

The symposium will feature presentations from University of Michigan professors, National Science Board executives, and demonstrations from Smart Technologies, Vernier Software and the American Museum of Natural History, among other notable leaders in the industry.

 

If you’re unable to attend, I’d be happy to send key takeaways from the presentations, or put you in touch with McGraw-Hill Education’s Art Block, senior VP of STEM, or Michael Comer, longtime science educator, to discuss the symposium and larger trends in science education.

 

Thanks,

McGraw-Hill Education
