These interviews occurredbefore the teaching of the first unit (whether it was science or engineering) and againafter the completion of both units. Second, classroom lessons were videorecordedusing an iPad provided by the research project. Teachers focused on videorecordingtheir engineering lessons and science lessons. Third, we leveraged existing Professional Learning Community [PLC] meetings toincorporate focus group interviews with participating teachers. During these meetingsteachers discussed difficulties and successes, problems gathering materials for lessons

We narrowed the sample pool by selecting only those faculty memberswho taught these courses during the Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 terms (a pool of 60 faculty). Thisensured that these faculty members remembered their experiences teaching the selected courses.On occasion participants encouraged us to interview another faculty member who failed to meetour criteria but were considered to be important voices in our campus’s dialogue about this topic.Two such faculty were added to the sampling pool.

The goalfor the grades are mainly to provide motivation to engage in the task and to receive some level offormative feedback on their work products. Therefore, the scores are relative to where they arein their development as a design team and do not provide a strong indicator of a learningprogression. A separate analysis of these work products is underway to determine a team’sprogression from novice designers with weak performance to highly functional design teams.An in-depth analysis is currently underway

Balancing support activities fordirect or indirect learning support proved to be a wise option. According to the authors’perception, the most successful results are related to students’ motivation and commitment inPhysics class. Students’ commitment must always be encouraged, throughout the academic year.Implementing similar activities in others schools will demand planning efforts and commitmentfrom teachers’ teams.References[1] CUTRI, R.; STEM, N.; MATTASOGLIO NETO, O.; SILVA CAMPOS, L.

ConclusionsInstead of having to choose using either PT or GNS3 for network development, it might be aneven better idea to use them both together. As previously discussed, both programs target distinctaspects of an overall project, and can be used to complement each other. PT can be used to createa networking plan that incorporates the internal and external functions of a network. PT couldfurther facilitate ease of assessment and automated grading.
