MicroTeaching Challenge to STEM Folks on Digital Learning Day
On Digital Learning Day, give some of your time to a teen in need. Got STEM Smarts? Help a struggler in Math. Your 10 mins could make the difference between a future scientist and a janitor. We know about micro payments, what about micro service? Microteaching?
There are 1000 questions in math alone, looking for an explanation. Plenty of help needed in Physics, Chemistry and Biology as well. Hundreds of good people are already helping. Have you done your share?
Are you really a good teacher? Think your explanations of Lenz’s law are outstanding? Well try it out on an unknown learner in North Dakota, home schooled, and at home. What about an ESL learner? Is it Raoult’s Law that they don’t’ understand or can’t do algebra? Are they in middle school or college? Here is a true test of your ability to articulate an explanation on the fly!
Go on, take the challenge. Let’s see how you can handle this!

OpenStudy with me
When I was in high school, I had one math genius friend who would help me cram before a big test. She had tons of math software and review sheets but none of those compare to 24/7 online math study help. I think this study site is an excellent resource!
