Community for Rural Education, Stewardship, and Technology (CREST): A Comprehensive Project for Students and Teachers

通过这个项目，PI将在缅因州沿海地区（包括孤立岛屿）建立一个学习社区。岛屿研究所已在缅因州活跃了20多年，并与该地区的学校和学区建立了牢固的关系。此外，该项目还与鲍登学院和当地渔业合作，帮助学生和教师掌握信息技术，特别是地理信息系统（GIS）和全球定位系统（GPS）。此外，由于渔业在这些孤立社区的历史中发挥了重要作用，该小组基于地点的背景和民族志研究将吸引学生和教师学习这些技术。此外，该计划的目标是6-12年级，在三年的运作中，包括63名教师和700名学生。参与教师每年将有超过120小时的接触时间，其中一年级和二年级的夏季有56小时的接触时间，三年级有32小时的接触时间；学生将与教师一起参加为期一周的讲习班，重点关注渔业中使用的技术。

Through this project, the PI will establish a learning community along the coastal region, including isolated islands, of Maine. The Island Institute has been active in Maine for more than 20 years, and has an established rapoire with the schools and school districts of the region. In addition, the program is working in collaboration with Bowdoin College and local fishery industries to prepare students and teachers in using Information Technology (IT), especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Further, as fisheries have played an important role in the history of these isolated communities, the placed-based context and ethnographic research by this group will entice students and teachers to learn these technologies. Moreover, the program targets grades 6-12, including 63 teachers and 700 students in the three years of its operation. Participating teachers will have more than 120 contact hours per year including 56 hours of contact during the summers of Years 1 and 2, and 32 hours during Year 3; whereas students will participate, with teachers, in one-week workshops that focus on technologies used in the fisheries industry.
