0085620MessinaWeb-based Investigations in the Geosciences (WIG) is a multidisciplinary, broad-audience endeavor, targeting undergraduate and graduate students, pre-college science teachers, and those in their charge. The core of this initiative involves the development, field-testing and implementation of inquiry-based GIS (Geographic Information Systems)/GPS (Global Positioning System) modules and "virtual geologic field trips" that will be widely distributed over the Internet. With the assistance of a graduate student intern, the Principal Investigator of the proposed project will gather and organize spatial data to construct critical thinking activities in which geologic, biologic, geographic, meteorologic, and other GIS layers are combined into Earth Systems puzzles. The modules will be in the form of interactive directed inquiry lessons and "virtual field trips" in which the end-user will explore a remote terrain in search of physical evidence to help solve a problem. The PI of this project will employ the assistance of current students within San Jose State University's College of Science, who will collect further spatial data as part of Geology course requirements. Current students will also field-test the modules before they are more widely distributed via several public and private Internet servers. Dissemination strategies also include pre-college and in-service teacher workshops, national conference participation, and journal articles on the project's resources. WIG will make available Web-based student-centered activities, archived data sets to conduct spatial investigations, and virtual field trips for use in colleges and secondary schools around the country, or internationally.

0085620MessinaWeb-Based Investigations in the Geosciences(WIG)是一项多学科、受众广泛的活动，面向本科生和研究生、大学预科科学教师及其负责人。这项倡议的核心是开发、实地测试和实施基于查询的地理信息系统(地理信息系统)/全球定位系统(GPS)模块和将在因特网上广泛传播的“虚拟地质实地考察”。在研究生实习生的帮助下，拟议项目的首席调查员将收集和组织空间数据，以构建批判性思维活动，在这些活动中，地质、生物、地理、气象和其他地理信息系统层组合成地球系统谜题。这些模块将以交互式定向调查课程和“虚拟实地考察”的形式进行，在这些课程中，最终用户将探索偏远的地形，寻找实物证据，以帮助解决问题。这个项目的PI将雇用圣何塞州立大学理学院的在校学生提供帮助，他们将收集更多的空间数据，作为地质学课程要求的一部分。在校学生还将对这些模块进行实地测试，然后通过几个公共和私人互联网服务器进行更广泛的分发。传播战略还包括大学前和在职教师讲习班、国家会议参与以及关于该项目资源的期刊文章。WIG将提供以学生为中心的网络活动、进行空间调查的存档数据集，以及虚拟实地旅行，供全国各地的大学和中学使用，或在国际上使用。
