Project VISM -- Visualization in Science and Mathematics

这个项目的目的是利用暑期工作坊对120名骨干教师进行交叉培训，使他们掌握不同的基于计算机的科学和数学可视化工具。然后，这些教师举办员工发展研讨会，向所在地区和当地地区的同龄人介绍基于计算机的可视化。该项目整合了先前由美国国家科学基金会支持的许多方法，包括图像处理、模拟和建模、GIS和分子建模。核心教师为后续教师举办短期研讨会（每次1-1/2至2天），在此期间，他们将在数学和科学课程的背景下介绍一种或多种这些工具。核心教师将举办总共250个这样的讲习班。该项目为当地讲习班提供了广泛的电子支持，帮助教师使用各种基于计算机的可视化工具与学生一起探索和发现数学和科学。该项目是为弗吉尼亚州和当地地区的初中和高中数学和科学教师设计的。它旨在培养教师使用计算机为基础的工具的技能，以帮助他们和他们的学生探索丰富的课程内容。费用分摊占预算的9%。

9819580KOLVOORD This project is designed to use summer workshops to cross-train a cadre of 120 "core" teachers in different computer-based visualization tools for science and mathematics. These teachers then give staff development workshops to introduce computer-based visualization to peers in their districts and local regions. The project integrates a number of approaches previously supported by the National Science Foundation, including image processing, simulation and modeling, GIS, and molecular modeling. The core teachers conduct short workshops (1-1/2 to 2 days each) for follow-on teachers in which they introduce one or more of these tools within the context of math and science courses. The core teachers will conduct a total of 250 such workshops.The project provides extended electronic support for the local workshops, helping teachers to use various types of computer-based visualization tools with students to explore and discover math and science. The project is designed for middle and high school math and science teachers in Virginia and the local region. It aims to develop teachers' skills in using computer-based tools in order to help them and their students explore a rich array of content in their courses.Cost sharing is 9% of the budget.
