Mr. Wizard TV Science Workshops

唐·赫伯特先生，也被称为“巫师先生”，已经与Nickelodeon有线电视合作，制作和播出了70个关于基础科学教育的教师讲习班。这些15分钟的节目将以示范实践科学教学为特色，并将为教师和学校管理人员提供有关教学方法、教材和管理教育变革的模式的最新信息。这些节目将在清晨通过有线电视播出，以便录制下来，供以后使用。将制作和分发时事通讯和教师指南，并提供免费电话支持系统回答教师的问题。巫师先生作为一名科学教育家的声誉将吸引广泛的观众，而尼克将提供接触这些观众的手段。这一伙伴关系有可能惠及全国数十万教师，从而提高他们对有效的科学教学的理解。Nickelodeon提供的费用分摊相当于NSF对该项目支持的35%。

Mr. Don Herbert, also known as "Mr. Wizard", has entered into a collaborative effort with Nickelodeon Cable Television for production and broadcast of 70 teacher workshops on elementary science education. These 15-minute programs will feature exemplary hands-on science teaching, and will offer teachers and school administrators current information on teaching methods, instructional materials, and models for managing educational change. The programs will be broadcast over cable television in the early morning hours for videotaping and later use. Newsletters and teachers guides will be produced and distributed, and a toll-free telephone support system will answer teachers' questions. Mr. Wizard's reputation as a science educator will attract a broad audience, and Nickelodeon will provide the means to reach this audience. This partnership has the potential to reach hundreds of thousands of teachers across the country, thereby improving their understanding of effective science teaching. Cost sharing provided by Nickelodeon amounts to 35% of the NSF support for this project.
