Eyes in the Sky: Applied Information Technology Project

该项目为学生和教师创建了一个综合计划，旨在为美国西南部服务不足的少数族裔教师做好准备，以促进学生在现有STEM课程中使用地理信息技术(GIT)进行研究。《天空中的眼睛》是一个分为五个阶段的项目，通过让高中教师在18个月的时间里进行136小时的专业发展来提供这种准备。这些教师与120名学生一起参加20小时的暑期工作坊，为学生提供信息技术培训，并为教师提供将信息技术融入课堂的经验。该计划为教师提供有效、适当的培训，使他们能够利用来自商业、行业和政府机构的专业知识和资源进行真实的研究。

This project creates a comprehensive program for students and teachers designed to prepare underserved minority teachers in the southwestern United States to facilitate student use of Geographical Information Technology (GIT) for research within existing STEM courses. "Eyes in the Sky" is a five-stage program that supplies this preparation by engaging high school teachers in 136 hours of professional development over 18 months. These teachers work with 120 students attending 20-hour summer workshops, providing IT training for students and experience for teachers with integrating IT into the classroom. The program provides effective, appropriate training for teachers enabling them to implement authentic research using expertise and resources from business, industry and government agencies.
