on characteristic patterns in time.A quantitative technology forecast includes the study of historic data to identify one of severalcommon technology diffusion or substitution models. Patterns to be identified include constantpercentage rates of change (so-called “Moore‟s Laws”), logistic growth (“S”- curves), logisticsubstitution, performance envelopes, anthropological invariants, lead/lag (precursor)relationships, and other phenomena. These quantitative projections have proven accurate inpredicting technological and social change in thousands of diverse applications, on time scalescovering only months to spanning centuries.Invariant, or well-bounded, human individual and social behavior, and fundamental humanagency and evolutionary drives

interest in STEM and non-STEM subjects. However,having a population of technologically literate K-5(8) teachers and teacher candidates alsooffers many unique research opportunities. [The definition of “technologically literate” herelikely entails being literate to some degree in the S, M and T&E.] Leaving the teachingeffectiveness benefits aside, a population of technologically literate K-5 teachers, and Page 15.1194.2presumably their K-5(8) students, should enable technological literacy instruments to bebetter designed and calibrated. This has broad implications. Measurements of technologicalliteracy in MST and non-MST teacher populations could

Type Indicator (MBTI) is linked to personality preferences, as shownin Table 1. MBTI summarizes preferences in terms of four categories that represent howan individual processes and evaluates information. The first category describes how aperson interacts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energyfrom interactions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I) on the other hand prefermore of a relatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second categorydescribes how a person processes information. A person who relies on her senses isreferred to as a Sensor (S), while a person who seeks to interpret and gain insight frominformation is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensor versus iNtuitor category is

, knowledge- intensive jobs and the innovative enterprises that lead to discovery and new technology, our economy will suffer and our people will face a lower standard of living. Economic studies conducted even before the information-technology revolution have shown that as much as 85% of measured growth in US income per capita was due to technological change. (p. 1) Keeping pace with this pressing need, the white house has taken upon the Educateto Innovate (WhiteHouse Press release(s) (2009 & 2010) initiative): The AP (1/7) reports that on Wednesday, President Obama launched his $250 million "Educate to Innovate" campaign "to train math and science teachers and help meet his

impact students depending upon the environments inwhich students learn. Some recommended strategies for reaching all students with STEM afterschool activities are listed below:Content-based Strategies  Use and teach with the latest technologies and provide students with tools from many and various media  Contextualize activities by connecting with real-life situations and societal issues  Provide opportunities for individual student expression and connection to their cultures and experiences  Provide students with as much choice as possible in some aspect(s) of the activity  Provide activities that link content areas (for example, dance and geometry, writing and astronomy)  Provide a varied slate of

long string ofenergy transfers, like the “Mousetrap Game”. The main purpose is to show them that inreal life, something will probably go wrong, since real components follow Murphy’sLaw. Simply explained, Murphy’s Law says that” if anything can go wrong, it probablywill.” Page 15.1367.33. Mathematics and EconomicsThere are some misleading concepts that fuzzies may hold regarding mathematicalprinciples. One example is “Fibber McGee’s law of probability”, which is, “the less youwin, the more you gotta.” The radio show, “Fibber McGee and Molly” was popular inthe 1940’s. This misconception, that the more often you lose in a game of chance, thehigher the
