EARTH VIEW: An interactive educational tool to explore topics in earth science and global change

小行星9353081 这个项目是开发一个互动的，基于计算机的程序，将促进概念化，通过学生探索相关的科学和社会问题，在地球科学。 拟议的软件将提供使用最先进的图形界面访问、分析和模拟基于地理的数据的能力，并将通过诸如因特网等分布式计算机网络检索数据。 拟议的题为“地球视图”的课程将成为一个通用模型，通过该模型，计算机网络可用于扩大课堂。 将开发一个个性化的笔记本，用于指导学生的探索，并提供一个记录调查结果和解释的网站。 这本笔记本也将作为评估学习进展的资料袋。 教育署会为未能直接使用联机数据来源或互联网的学校制作唯读光碟。

9353081 Sambrotto This project is to develop an interactive, computer based program that will promote conceptualization through student exploration of relevant scientific and societal issues in earth science. The proposed software would provide the capability to access, analyze and model geographically based data using a state of the art graphical interface and would retrieve data over a distributed computer network such as Internet. The proposed curriculum entitled EARTH VIEW is to be a general model by which computer networking can be used to expand the classroom. A personalized notebook would be developed and used to guide students' exploration and would provide a site for recording findings and interpretations. This notebook would also serve as a portfolio for evaluation of learning progress. A CD-ROM would be produced for those schools who did not have direct access to an on-line data source or Internet.
