Arctic Alive, An Innovative E-Learning Environment

北极生活是一个电子学习项目，将尖端的地球科学研究带到K-12课堂，整合地球科学课程，为K-12教师提供与科学家合作的机会，并促进全球对北极地区的价值和全球意义的了解。北极活着专注于北极研究，北极地区的重要性，包括它在全球气候变化中的作用，以及它非凡的环境和多样化的文化。科学是课程的中心主题，而技术是催化剂。北极生活是一个互动的，实时的，独特的基于网络的教育计划。它使用各种教学方法和电子学习策略将北极研究带到课堂上。计划的两个关键组成部分是实地教师与地球科学家一起促进课堂活动，以及学生与研究人员的互动。教育工作者和学生不仅将北极Alive计划纳入他们的科学课程，还将其纳入社会研究和技术课程。北极Alive计划符合国家技术、科学和数学教育标准，以及阿拉斯加学生内容标准。

ABSTRACTArctic AliveArctic Alive is an e-learning project that brings cutting-edge geosciences research to the K-12 classroom, integrates geosciences curriculum, provides opportunities for K-12 teachers to work with scientists, and promotes global understanding about the value and worldwide significance of the Arctic region. Arctic Alive focuses on arctic research, the importance of the arctic region including its role in global climate change, and its extraordinary environments and diverse cultures. Science is the central curriculum theme, while technology is the catalyst. Arctic Alive is an interactive, real-time, and unique web-based education program. It uses a variety of delivery methods and e-learning strategies to deliver arctic research to the classroom. Two key program components are a teacher in the field with the geoscientists to facilitate activities in the classroom, and student interactions with the researchers. Educators and students integrate the Arctic Alive program not only into their sciences curriculum but also social studies and technology curricula. The Arctic Alive program aligns with National Education Standards in technology, science, and math, as well as Alaska Content Standards for Students.
