SCIENCE TEACHERS WORKSHOP FOR COMPUTER TRAINING

多媒体，跨学科材料的使用和发展 生命和健康科学正在迅速发展。带来多媒体 技术到课堂需要教师足够熟悉 他们被赋予了使用技术的能力 作为一种工具，以加强自己的课程计划，以及鼓励 学生可以用它来学习和创造。研讨会旨在 给教师足够的时间熟悉计算机 技术，为教师提供熟悉的资源 在他们自己的主题范围内的技术，并创建 为将来解决问题提供自助环境。完成这些 这些讲习班每年夏天举办四周， 尽可能多的教师在一个车间内从一所学校。这 模型-提供了时间的技能和网络的同化 每个学校的用户都可以解决日常问题。额外 让整个科学部门参与进来的好处是 教师与学生之间的学科互动 发现有用的跨学科软件。软件材料 每个人根据自己的教室选择学习的方式 需要和现有的学校硬件。预览和正式评估 免费软件是该计划的一个关键组成部分， 速度取决于每个人的能力和需要。程序 是与匹兹堡大学的中学科学系合作， 公立学校。传播的软件评论，老师编写的 教案，一个新的教师生成的软件模块将通过 通过合作开发的网络服务器和网络连接 卡内基科学中心。

The use and development of multimedia, interdisciplinary materials in the life and health sciences is expanding rapidly. Bringing multimedia technology to the classroom requires that teachers be familiar enough with the technology that they are empowered with the ability to use it as a tool to enhance their own lesson plans as well as to encourage students to use it to learn and create. The Workshops are designed to give the teachers sufficient time to become familiar with computer technology, to provide resources for the teachers to become familiar with the technology in the context of their own subject matter, and to create a self-help environment for future problem solving. To accomplish these goals the workshops are run for four weeks each summer and include as many teachers as possible from a single school within one workshop. This model - provides the time for assimilation of the skills and a network of users within each school to solve everyday problems. An additional benefit of having an entire science department involved is the cross disciplinary interaction that takes place between teachers and the discovery of useful interdisciplinary software. The software materials for study are chosen by each individual according to their classroom needs and available school hardware. Preview and formal evaluation of software at no cost to the teacher is a key component of the program and the pace is defined by each individual's ability and need. The program is a partnership with the secondary science departments of the Pittsburgh Public Schools. Dissemination of the software reviews, teacher prepared lesson plans, a new teacher generated software modules will be through a network server and network connection developed through a partnership with the Carnegie Science Center.
