Teacher Comments Summary #1

I was assigned Dr. Fryer's blog. Dr. Fryer teaches at STEM school in Oklahoma. He teaches the fourth and fifth grade at the school. STEM stand for the following: science, technology, engineering, and math. Dr.Fryer is very much up to date with the new technology.

The first post I read was about the mini maker fair coming to Manhattan, Kansas. The fair is the technology version of the DIY channel. It features small companies selling products such as robots, 3D printers, and many other things. It is a great way to learn new things about technology. It also will teach you creativity. The second post I read was about Dr. Fryer's fourth and fifth grade popsicle catapult project. Students were given four days to complete it. Two days for creating the catapult design. The other two days for testing. The end of the four days the students will have a competition to see who has created the best catapult. After reading the two posts Dr. Fryer stresses creativity and imagination. The two are integral part of discovering and learning.
