Project VISM -- Visualization in Science and Mathematics

这个项目旨在利用暑期讲习班对120名“核心”教师进行交叉培训，使他们掌握科学和数学的不同计算机可视化工具。然后，这些教师举办员工发展研讨会，向他们所在地区和当地的同龄人介绍基于计算机的可视化技术。该项目集成了许多以前由国家科学基金会支持的方法，包括图像处理、模拟和建模、地理信息系统和分子建模。核心教师为后续教师举办短期讲习班(每人1天半至2天)，在数学和科学课程的背景下介绍这些工具中的一个或多个。核心教师将举办250个这样的工作坊。该项目为本地工作坊提供扩展的电子支持，帮助教师与学生一起使用各种基于计算机的可视化工具来探索和发现数学和科学。该项目是为弗吉尼亚州和当地的初中和高中数学和科学教师设计的。它旨在培养教师使用计算机工具的技能，以帮助他们和他们的学生探索课程中丰富的内容。费用分担是预算的9%。

9819580KOLVOORD This project is designed to use summer workshops to cross-train a cadre of 120 "core" teachers in different computer-based visualization tools for science and mathematics. These teachers then give staff development workshops to introduce computer-based visualization to peers in their districts and local regions. The project integrates a number of approaches previously supported by the National Science Foundation, including image processing, simulation and modeling, GIS, and molecular modeling. The core teachers conduct short workshops (1-1/2 to 2 days each) for follow-on teachers in which they introduce one or more of these tools within the context of math and science courses. The core teachers will conduct a total of 250 such workshops.The project provides extended electronic support for the local workshops, helping teachers to use various types of computer-based visualization tools with students to explore and discover math and science. The project is designed for middle and high school math and science teachers in Virginia and the local region. It aims to develop teachers' skills in using computer-based tools in order to help them and their students explore a rich array of content in their courses.Cost sharing is 9% of the budget.
