Reflecting on my own experience, I realized this was very accurate for my own group. While John and Arjun focused heavily on finding new technologies, Katie and I conducted other research that was still important, but not so focused on specific technologies. I also was assigned the role of email coordinator and conducting the interviews….I was not aware of how this stereotype was affecting our group nor did I think it was a problem. Some strategies that my team could use to make the team dynamic more effective is switching up the types of roles we do everyone now and then. That way

A modular approach can also be usedto emphasize the same foundational math and science knowledge and skills in different coursesin an applied technology context. This approach reinforces basic skills in a meaningful way.Many types of modules (content, length, cost etc.) can be used at the secondary and post-secondary level with few changes. There are also a large number of STEM (science, technology,engineering and mathematics) courses at both levels that are appropriate
