Overview
By participating in this hands-on workshop, you will
learn how “Unique and Compelling” (U & C) Internet-based
curriculum resources can be integrated into the K-12 science
and mathematics curriculum to enhance student learning and
increase student achievement. Focusing on the use of real-time
data and global telecollaborative projects, these curriculum
materials engage students in authentic science investigations
in which they perform experiments; collect, record and analyze
real data; make predictions; and, in effect, become real
scientists. Participants will explore projects and resources
for a variety of grade levels for science and mathematics that
have been recognized by the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse,
AAAS, NSTA, and others. As a result of this workshop, you will
be able to:
-
Identify the differences between a traditional, an
innovative, and a U&C educational resource.
-
Discuss how U & C educational resources promote better
problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
-
Discuss how U & C educational resources can enhance student
learning and positively impact students.
