Computer Age Environmental Science Pre-College Teacher Development

该项目将为宾夕法尼亚州伊利市或附近的30名中学教师提供在职培训。参加者将被介绍现代生态技术，并将学习微型计算机的应用。该计划将分为四个阶段。第一阶段将在夏季进行为期两周的全日制研讨会。第二阶段将在第一学期包括9个星期六讲习班，第三阶段将在第二学期包括7个星期六讲习班。在这些讲习班期间，参加者将开发环境计算机单元，以纳入他们的课程。第四阶段将是一个为期四周的讲习班，供个人项目介绍。在项目的前三个阶段将有广泛的实地考察活动。伊利湖和普莱斯克岛州立公园都可以进行实地研究，并将被用作研究地点。

This project will deliver in-service training to 30 middle school teachers in or near Erie, Pennsylvania. The participants will be introduced to modern ecological techniques and will also be instructed in the applications of microcomputers. The program will consist of four phases. Phase I will be a two-week, full-time workshop during the summer. Phase II will consist of nine Saturday workshops during the first semester, and Phase III will consist of seven Saturday workshops during the second semester. During these workshops, the participants will develop Environmental Computer Units to be incorporated into their courses. Phase IV will be a four-week workshop for individual project presentations. There will be extensive field trip activity during the first three phases of the project. Both Lake Erie and Presque Isle State Park are accessible for field studies and will be employed as study sites.
