approach in a high school setting would develop his/herdesign mindset readily when compared to problems provided in a traditional textbook. Forexample, take the basketball throwing example in Chapter 3 of Coletta (Physics FundamentalsPhysics Curriculum & Instruction; 2nd edition 2010)) and ask how to launch a food packageonto a third floor balcony in a street flooding situation. A displayed trend on a graph of locationversus angle or speed would demonstrate an understanding of the projectile motion knowledge.A subsequent imposition of a constraint on the food delivery boat such as oscillatory water levelwould require an iterated design with some appropriate assumptions. Another example would bethe L-shape arm bio-mechanical model where a

cloud optionsfor hands-on education, based on our experience with multiple cloud platforms. There are differentways of implementing cloud computing. A public cloud is owned and operated by an externalservice provider. Computing resources are allocated on a pay-per-usage basis. A private cloud isowned and managed by local institutions. Computing resources are provisioned to internal userson demand. Private clouds are highly customizable and may be adjusted to better meet the needsof local users. However, setting up a private cloud requires expertise and resources. Access topublic clouds can be set up quickly but users possess less control. In a diversified online learningenvironment, multiple cloud platforms may be necessary.KeywordsVirtual lab

, studentsmove beyond literacy to integrated problem solving, innovation and creativity. In this case,students are expected to address an unscripted and open ended challenge, within a changingcontext.Many institutions have also adopted standardized testing such as the Collegiate LearningAssessment (CLA), or the revised CLA+8, or the work by Robert Ennis9. These assessments areuseful because they provide both a baseline to measure performance improvement and an externalbenchmark. At this point, RIT has not adopted these external tools, and is focusing on two keyactions, (1) the integration of applied critical thinking across the curriculum to support thedevelopment of the competency, including its integration into first year general education coursesto

theknowledge of STEM in Elementary and Middle School students.KeywordsSTEM, Elementary, Middle, methods, technologiesIntroductionAt the elementary school level, STEM education provides an introduction to the STEM as wellas an awareness of STEM (California Department of Education, 2014). For middle schoolstudents, STEM allows students to begin the exploration of STEM-related careers. Finally, forthe high school, STEM prepares students for successful post-secondary education and beyond1.Among the four areas of the STEM, the research in technology and engineering education inelementary and middle schools is less mature because those subjects are not as commonly taughtin K-12 education. The nature and potential value of integrated K-12 STEM education are
