MODULE 3 einstein™ Teacher Training – Advanced Application
Once we understand how the einstein™ platform works, we are ready to put it into the “real world” of our classroom. This training module is focused on performing and analyzing science experiments using the einstein™ platform. The experiments used in this training are tailored to match the school curriculum with new ideas for experiments to enhance the experience of hands-on science.
In this challenging and in depth module, teachers will learn how to use the einstein™ platform for real-life, complex projects that involve the creative use of many sensors and advanced analytical methods. Teachers will learn how to guide their students in designing science projects and fusing the einstein™ platform with the 21st century pedagogy.
We offer this module in two versions: A. Middle school/High school training and B. Primary school training.
