This is a great commercial by Verizon to promote girls in science and technology. It is an eye-opening perspective on little things that are done and said in society that can impede and stifle the interest level of young girls in science content areas.

Questions regarding teaching practices
As an
educator of 9 years and currently teaching 5th grade science, there
are a few teaching practices that are a cause for concern in education today. My
concerns are listed below:
1. How can we as educators promote science in
STEM for young girls now in order to maintain growth for women in STEM fields
of study in the future?
2. In 2007, Education Week reported on a
major federal study that found, “no difference in academic achievement between
students who used the technology in their classrooms and youngsters who used
other methods (http:’’idla.org).”
Therefore, how can educators incorporate technology that is meaningful
to students and increases proficiency within content areas?
3. What can educators do to present
material in ways that appeal to students’ minds in the 21st century?
