Making space for new technology in school

Teachers are no longer like conductors, stuck at

a

the front of the classroom, directing the conversation, or lecturing old-school-style. Rather, they have become more like guides, school officials say. And central to their work is technology. Welcome to the 21st century classroom.
Full STEAM ahead

Increasingly, teachers are infusing STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) into their curricula. The Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway, a private yeshiva on Central Avenue in Lawrence, is one such school having gone all in on STEM, and is converting its learning spaces in a big way to do so.
