This problem will give teachers experiences using web-based gaming and simulation software. Teachers will use authoring systems to develop educational games and try the games out in their classrooms. In the process, they will be learning content as well as programming and technology skills.Teacher participants will be recruited from an existing NSF-funded teacher fellowship program at North Carolina State University. They will attend a summer program, working with project staff and university faculty, to develop their activities. They will then spend a year refining their products and helping other teachers use them in their classrooms. A special focus will be on teachers of students with special needs and of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The outcome of this project will be 15 web-based science games that are classroom-tested, teacher-developed, and linked to state and national standards. An instructional guide for each game will also be produced. The instructional guide, as well as the games themselves, will be made available on websites. Other forms of dissemination will include workshops and presentations at professional meetings. Evaluation, both formative and summative, will be done by an outside organization. Items to be evaluated center on teachers' improvement in pedagogy, guidance counselors' awareness of IT career paths, and students' content knowledge in technology and basic sciences.

这个问题将给教师使用基于网络的游戏和模拟软件的经验。 教师将使用创作系统来开发教育游戏，并在课堂上试用这些游戏。 在这个过程中，他们将学习内容以及编程和技术技能。教师参与者将从北卡罗来纳州州立大学现有的NSF资助的教师奖学金计划中招募。 他们将参加一个暑期项目，与项目工作人员和大学教师合作，发展他们的活动。 然后，他们将花一年时间改进他们的产品，并帮助其他教师在课堂上使用它们。 将特别关注有特殊需要的学生和来自弱势背景的学生的教师。 该项目的成果将是15个基于网络的科学游戏，这些游戏经过课堂测试，由教师开发，并与州和国家标准挂钩。 还将为每个游戏制作一个指导指南。 教学指南以及游戏本身将在网站上提供。 其他传播形式将包括讲习班和在专业会议上介绍情况。 形成性和总结性评价将由外部组织进行。 评估项目集中在教师在教学法方面的改进、辅导员对IT职业道路的认识以及学生在技术和基础科学方面的知识。
