ESI-9452794 Phil J. Gersmehl A CD-ROM and associated software and data bases are being developed for use in teaching geography of the United States in secondary schools. This project is based on a previously funded NSF project, Activities and Readings in the Geography of the United States (ARGUS), which is presented in a print format. The CD-ROM will have four key components: photographic images that will bring selected aspects of the world into the classroom for description and analysis; maps and graphs that will summarize the geographic patterns of phenomena and illustrate theories that geographers have developed to explain those patterns; short animations that will lead viewers around the images, maps, and graphs and make transitions between them, for example by highlighting an earthquake fault in a photograph or showing how data in a table apply to a specific location on a map; simulations and supporting data tables that will encourage and model active exploration within the context of a problem situation. The materials are being developed in focused modules that can become the basis of a course on geography or be used as units in a number of courses.

ESI-9452794 菲尔·J·格斯梅尔 目前正在制作一个光盘和有关软件及数据库，供中学教授美国地理之用。 这个项目是基于以前资助的NSF项目，活动和阅读在美国的地理（ARGUS），这是在打印格式。 该光盘将有四个关键部分：将世界的某些方面带入课堂进行描述和分析的摄影图像;概述各种现象的地理模式并说明地理学家为解释这些模式而发展的理论的地图和图表;简短的动画，将引导观众周围的图像，地图和图表，并使它们之间的过渡，例如在照片中突出显示地震断层，或显示表格中的数据如何适用于地图上的特定位置;模拟和支持数据表，鼓励和模拟在问题情况下的积极探索。 这些材料是按重点单元编制的，可成为地理课程的基础，或用作若干课程的单元。
