Brubaker, Editor Mary Bird Lynn Cullum Donella Ingham Lori Novak For the National Educational Computing Conference June 1993 Foreword Welcome to the fourteenth annual National Educational Computing ConferenceNECC '93! As the theme of NECC '93 is The Magic of Technology, we can think of no more appropriate gathering site than Orlando, Florida, one of the most magical of all destinations. We want to take this opportunity to welcome each and every one of you to the conference. Many of you have come great distances to be here, and we hope you will find NECC '93 to be as enjoyable a time as it is informative. The theme of this conference refers to the enabling capabilities of computers and related technolo- gies. NECC '93 celebrates your ability and willingness to embrace technology in all of the forms it may take and to apply it to the most wondrous and magical of all endeavorseducation. The wonders you will encounter here at NECC '93 range from the familiar to the unfamiliar. The Proceedings are designed to serve as your guide to the myriad of sessions and presentations offered at NECC '93. While it is not possible to attend all of them, the Proceedings offer short abstracts of the Poster, Project, Society, and Spotlight sessions. In addition, all of the papers presented at this conference are printed in their entirety. It is our hope that you will use these Proceedings even after NECC'93 is over, perhaps to recall an interesting session you attended, to gain more information about a particular strategy or concept that interests you, or to contact a presenter. We are particularly excited to offer these Proceedings for the first time in three formats: paper, diskette, and CD-ROM. Whichever form you are using, we hope you will find it beneficial and "user friendly." This conference didn't happen by magic. Many, many people have dedicated many, many hours to making this a very special event for you: the Conference and Program Committees and subcommittees; the NECA Board and Committee; the NECC staff at ISTE and at the University of Central Florida; the UCF College of Education faculty and staff; the instructional technology supporters at the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Board of Regents; and the many administrators, faculty and staff members at UCF and area schools who supported this conference in many ways. Thanks to Paul Katz and his able assistants for organizing the exhibits and security. Many exhibitors have provided sponsorship of this conference through equipment, software, expertise and technical support, and dollars. A special word of appreciation to each of the presenters, presiders, workshop leaders, and volunteers who gave of their time and knowledge. Finally, our heartfelt appreciation to our families who have had so little of our time for so long. During NECC '93 and after, we invite you not only to celebrate the magic of technology, but to believe in it, and to make it happen for students! Donna J.

  • STEAM Based Curriculum for Grades 3-12
    A STEAM Curriculum for Grades 3-12 An Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium Curriculum More than 200 large stadiums serve sports teams – and their fans - across the United States. But none is quite like Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. From its inception, the goal for the facility was to stand above the rest, particularly in sustain- ability, fan experience and positive community impact. With accomplishments that in- clude a LEED Platinum rating by the U.S. Green Building Council, a thriving partnership with Westside Works (a community and workforce development organization), fan-first pricing and a world-class art collection, owner Arthur Blank and his team succeeded in their vision. Just as Mercedes-Benz Stadium was creatively designed for the future, students today are preparing for the world of tomorrow, where many will have careers that do not yet exist. Therefore, our approach to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium curriculum was to focus on the same priorities as the stadium builders while creating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) lessons that align with the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE). Lessons for each grade level include two focused on STEM subjects and one on Art & Design, with opportunities for students to flex their creativity embedded throughout. As educators we understand each class is different, so we wrote the lessons to be adaptable, providing flexibility for teachers to apply the curriculum appropriately for their classroom’s teaching and learning needs. Each lesson includes the relevant state standards; instructional guidelines for before, during and after a stadium tour; an extension section that adds a more challenging layer to the lesson; a shortened version for a quick learning experience; a service learning application; and possible career connections.
