Google Faculty Insitute and Innovative Ideas for Changing How We Teach

Currently, Google has partnered with the California State University system (CSU) credential programs to work on how we can train math and science teachers differently. In August 2011, Google sponsored a Google Faculty Institute in which faculty from the School of Education, Mathematics, Science, and other STEM related-departments came together to discuss innovative ideas for shifting pedagogical practices in math and science classrooms. Here are some of the resources that were presented at the institute:
