Since an IM activity might be implemented in different weeks by differentteachers, the observer has an impression that these activities were implemented by some teacherswhen they can spare a period. Nevertheless some teachers, especially those who attended thePDP workshop, seemed to appreciate the power the IM activities have in engaging students tothink and to reason.Initial observations of teacher implementations indicate a range of emphases.

Some of the questions to keep in mind as weintroduce the concepts of parallelism and parallel programming to the students include: • How can one analyze an application to determine what operations can be done in parallel? • What aspects of a particular algorithm influence what can be done in parallel? • What aspects of a particular algorithm influence what cannot be done in parallel? • Is there a way

For example, BusinessIntelligence (BI) systems focus on providing historical, current, and predictive views for thebusiness making use of it. Often, BI and related systems manage their data in the form of datacubes, which are multi-dimensional views of data managed and modeled in a way for rapid queryand analysis.

ouridentity requires that we consider who we want to be not only within communities of practice,but also in response to others.8 Thus, identity formation is relational, discursive and responsiveto the broader social environment.12 In this study, I examine how elementary teachers negotiate the inclusion of ‘teacher ofengineering’ within their existing identities as ‘elementary school teachers’ when a newelementary engineering curriculum created an institutionalized turning point. Many factors mayimpact the sense making when teachers incorporate a teacher-of-engineering identity. Two ofthese are that: 1) most practicing elementary teachers have not been exposed to engineering orlearned engineering pedagogy in their pre-service education or

These findings reinforce the notion that thecomponents of critical-thinking skills identified by Glaser in 1941, i.e., recognition of problems,gathering of pertinent information, recognition of unstated assumptions and values,comprehension and use of language with accuracy, clarity and discrimination, are relevantindicators of technological problem-solving skills.The process of troubleshooting requires an integrated ability to collect, process, and evaluateexternal and internal information.
