The webinar “STEM and BYOD: Using SPARKvue at School” discusses the use of the BYOD principle in science and precision lessons using PASCO Scientific digital tools (sensors and SPARKvue software).
SPARKvue software
SPRAKvue is software developed by PASCO Scientific that can collect and display information from PASCO sensors. It is also possible to make presentations and joint sessions.
SPARKvue software is free for tablets and smartphones.
Apps can be downloaded from the AppStore, Google Play and Chrome Web Store.
You must obtain a license to install the software on Windows and Mac computers. You only need to buy the license once and it is valid for all school computers at the same address (unless you have a basic school and a high school separately).
More information about the software can be found here .
Purpose
The main goals of the webinar are:
- Understanding of the VOSK principle
Discuss what BYOD is and how it can be introduced in school.
- Introduction of SPARKvue software
Talk more about what it is and how it can be used. Show participants:
– How to set up a joint session
– How to join another session
– How a new file is created and what the storage options are
– How to use the software
– How to create presentations, etc.
- Examples of the use of digital tools
Show how teachers of science, biology, chemistry, physics and geography can organize lessons using the BYOD principle, SPARKvue software and PASCO weather station, CO2 sensor, pH sensor, light sensor.
- Digital laboratory materials for teachers
Show methodological instructions and where to find them.
Learning outcomes
As a result of the webinar, all the objectives have been met and teachers have an idea of how they can use different digital tools in their subject lessons and where they can find support (consultation and methodological guides for teachers).
They also get an idea of how these same guides and digital tools can be used in the classroom, outdoors and / or distance learning.
Time and place
The webinar is generally conducted through the Zoom environment (unless otherwise agreed).
Target group
The webinar is primarily aimed at teachers of Estonian schools.
Subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Natural Sciences, Physics.
Language
It is possible to conduct the webinar in both Estonian and Russian.
Duration
The approximate duration of the webinar is 120 minutes.
