Title: The Earth and Space Science Technological Education Project (ESSTEP) The Earth and Space Science Technological Education Project (ESSTEP) will unite undergraduate faculty from two- and four-year institutions and secondary school faculty, with professional societies, businesses, and government agencies in a partnership to provide faculty in grades 8 through 14 with: (1) hands-on experience in state-of-the-art data acquisition, manipulation, and presentation technologies for the earth and space sciences, (2) innovative strategies for using technology in classrooms and laboratories, (3) internship opportunities in earth and space science technology fields, and (4) improved access to a wide-variety of technology-based education resources. More specifically, ESSTEP will assist faculty in exploring ways that technologies such as the Internet, Geographical Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems, multimedia, image processing, CD-ROMs and laserdiscs can be used to enhance student learning, promote science and technology careers, catalyze the development of new courses and materials, and better articulate the grade 8-14 earth and space science curricula. Through earth and space science technology training institutes and a World Wide Web site, ESSTEP will directly serve 120 faculty during the next five years. These faculty will in turn provide in-service opportunities for an additional 1100 to 1500 faculty.

地球和空间科学技术教育项目（ESSTEP） 地球和空间科学技术教育项目（ESSTEP）将联合来自两年制和四年制机构和中学教师的本科教师，与专业协会，企业和政府机构合作，为8至14年级的教师提供：（1）在地球和空间科学的最先进的数据采集，处理和呈现技术方面的实践经验，（2）在教室和实验室中使用技术的创新战略，（3）地球和空间科学技术领域的实习机会，以及（4）改善获得各种技术教育资源的机会。更具体地说，ESSTEP将协助教师探索技术，如互联网，地理信息系统，全球定位系统，多媒体，图像处理，CD-ROM和激光光盘可以用来提高学生的学习，促进科学和技术的职业生涯，促进新课程和材料的开发，并更好地阐明等级8-14地球和空间科学课程。通过地球和空间科学技术培训机构和万维网网站，ESSTEP将在未来五年内直接为120名教师提供服务。这些教师将反过来为另外1100至1500名教师提供在职机会。
