LESSONS LEARNED
And counting鈥
Wanting to break through homogenized standard teaching practices while at the same increasing her students鈥 grades, Kriya Dunlap set her mind to developing a game-inspired teaching methodology. Pop into her classroom during test-prep sessions for some quality entertainment.
Working with students, Rorik Peterson set out to develop a 鈥渟mart" controller that connects to the ubiquitous vehicle plug-in electrical cord found in extreme cold climates, such as Fairbanks. The main goal is to reduce overall power consumption by optimizing the times and duration that the vehicle is plugged in.
Learning is like the jet stream of an airplane鈥搃t vanishes! But, as a teacher, Sarah Stanley wants to capture that jet stream. 鈥淚 want to study and learn from my student鈥檚 learning,鈥 says the Fellow, who has been working with eye-tracking software on her students and will be expanding on the project this fall.
