Though he was traumatized at the time, he quickly forgot about earth science until his sophomore year in college when his introductory Geology class at Stanford University was the first class that required him to go to the beach. His research on the science of earthquake faults has taken him to Hawaii, Japan, and a mile below the surface along the San Andreas fault. In 2007, he shifted his career from science research to science education. He was a high school teacher in the urban West Contra Costa Unified School District before becoming an Assistant Professor at California State University Northridge. He currently teaches four of the five science content classes required for future elementary teachers in the Liberal Studies program. His research focuses on teacher attitudes towards science teaching in elementary school and methods for promoting curiosity and collaboration in science classrooms.

<p dir="ltr"><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Session #1. Demonstrating Student Understanding Through Screencasting (Salon D1)</strong></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span class="font-size-4">Students are increasingly being asked to explain their thinking, use evidence-based arguments, and demonstrate their reasoning through modeling and problem-solving. Instead of using screencasts only to disseminate information, why not use this tool as a venue for students to demonstrate student understanding as well? Join Drs. Ross and Chen as they highlight screencasting tools and showcase how screencasting is used to enhance and communicate students’ understanding of science, technology, and math. </span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"><em>Intended Learning Outcomes:</em></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="font-size-4"><span>Participants will explore screencasting as a tool for eliciting students' conceptual understanding.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will consider how screencasting can support NGSS/CCSS-M standards-based activities.</span></li>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will evaluate how screencasting tools meet their curricular needs.</span></li>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will use a screencasting tool to design and produce a brief video to demonstrate STEM understanding.</span></li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr"><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Session #2. Collaboration and Reflection Through Google Docs and Google Hangouts (Salon D2)</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Join Drs. Soodjinda and Adams as they discuss how to engage students in collaborative activities that support STEM learning using Google Docs and Google+ Hangouts. Students can use these tools to discuss ideas, solve problems, create presentations, and interact with experts in the field.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"><em>Intended Learning Outcomes:</em></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will learn strategies for using Google Docs and Google Hangouts in STEM instruction</span></li>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will learn how to apply these tools for use in STEM instruction by working groups that use this collaboration software</span></li>
</ul>

<p dir="ltr"><span class="font-size-4"><strong>Session #3. Key Principles and Practices of a Flipped Classroom (Salon D3)</strong></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span class="font-size-4">Join Drs. Ichinose and d’Alessio as they share their experiences and research surrounding Flipped Courses. Participants will actively engage in a discussion surrounding the preparation, development and execution of flipped mathematics and science courses. We will discuss the two courses and pedagogically approaches that best match this flipped learning environment. The presentation will include different examples of flipped courses. We will discuss how a flipped model can support NGSS and the Common Core. Finally, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of flipping a course.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"><em>Intended Learning Outcomes:</em></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will understand the principles and practices of a flipped classroom.</span></li>
<li><span class="font-size-4">Participants will learn to use a template and instructional script allowing them to design a flipped course. </span></li>
