Photos and Videos: Second Ciber@prendiz Teacher Education Workshop: ¡H₂O Viva! and Terremundo

The following photos are from the Second Ciber@prendiz Teacher Education Workshop held in Lima, Perú. Thirteen middle school science, math, and computer teachers from Fernando Carbajal Segura school, San Pedro school, and Villa Caritas school (see schools & teachers) participated in the four day workshop and learned how to use and integrate technology, specifically two Internet-based interdisciplinary classroom projects, into their curriculum in innovative ways that enhance student learning and support higher levels of achievement.

During the first two days, the participating teachers completed all of the activities and conducted a rapid water analysis of the Pantanos de Villa as part of ¡H2O Viva! (see student projects), a collaborative project where students analyze the water quality of a river, stream, lake, or pond based on physical characteristics and chemical substances and compare their results with other fresh water sources around the world. During the latter two days, the teachers who participated in the first Ciberaprendiz workshop led the sessions for Terremundo (see student projects), a Real-Time data project where students use Real-Time earthquake and volcano data from the Internet to explore the relationship between earthquakes, plate tectonics, and volcanoes.
