The goals of this information technology (IT) project include familiarizing students and teachers with use of the technology resources, developing standards-based STM curriculum materials that incorporate these resources, preparing teachers to use the curriculum and exposing students to technology-related career options. This project will introduce teachers and students from the Monterey Bay area of California to information technology skills through research experiences at the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. Working with marine biologists from laboratory's research staff, 30 participating middle and high school teachers will participate in 2.5-week biotechnology research investigations and learn how the technology is used to analyze data and answer scientific questions. Teachers will be supported with follow-up meetings and classroom visits during the school year.During the three-year project technology-based instructional units that include DNA isolation and sequencing, biodiversity studies and environmental policy will be developed, field-tested and prepared for national dissemination through an interactive website. The technology resources needed to support these units will be available to participating teachers, exposing over 5,000 local students, many from currently underserved populations, to relevant experiences with information technology.

这个资讯科技计划的目标包括让学生和教师熟悉科技资源的使用、发展以标准为本的科技课程教材，并把这些资源纳入教材内、让教师作好使用课程的准备，以及让学生有机会接触与科技有关的职业选择。该项目将通过莫斯兰丁海洋实验室的研究经验，向来自加州蒙特雷湾地区的教师和学生介绍信息技术技能。 与实验室研究人员的海洋生物学家合作，30名参与的初中和高中教师将参加为期2.5周的生物技术研究调查，并学习如何使用该技术分析数据和回答科学问题。 在本学年期间，教师将得到后续会议和课堂访问的支助，在三年期项目期间，将开发、实地测试和准备通过互动网站在全国传播以技术为基础的教学单元，包括DNA分离和排序、生物多样性研究和环境政策。 将向参与的教师提供支持这些单位所需的技术资源，使5 000多名当地学生（其中许多来自目前服务不足的人口）获得信息技术方面的相关经验。
