The TPACK of the Project

One of my favorite things about this project is that students will have to do learning on their own. Instead of just sitting in class listening to me lecture, they will have a hands-on tool to discover the content. I believe that this is one of the best ways to learn and the goal of teaching. The technology project will really help with this pedagogy. The content encompassed in the project is not only important for the students, but fascinating to most people. Who wouldn't want to explore more about the heavens? This program "Stellarium" will really help the students explore as much or as little as they want, giving those students who are really interested in the subject an opportunity to learn. There isn't a whole lot of room for that in the curriculum, so it's nice to give them that option.
