Upgrade existing computer lab to an instructional lab/classroom to support courses in science and math for teachers. Instructors will utilize the computer and projection equipment, VCR, document camera for instructional purposes, and students will access web-based instruction, download materials, and digitize images and video. Digital microscopes will be used to digitize microscopic specimens. Students will then be able to prepare their digital resources obtained using the lab workstations and incorporate them into class projects and PowerPoint presentations. Projects will be saved as streaming video to serve as teaching resources. The web cam system will allow pre-service teachers to have a virtual field experience and save as streaming video for future viewing. The existing lab does not have the equipment or software to adequately support the above. Students in four sections of Biology 3000, Life Sciences for Elementary Teachers, already regularly scheduled each semester in the Fairview Building, will use the lab/classroom on a weekly basis. Students in Math 3320, 3330, 6100, 6320, 6340, 6350, 6380, 6360 will utilize the lab twice per semester in connection with workshops in which they learn to use NASA Educational materials housed at the NASA ERC and complete virtual field experiences. Furthermore teachers in graduate courses supported by Improving Teacher Quality grants, Math/Science Partnership grants, and other funding sources will utilize the lab during summer institutes. Five summer institutes have been funded for summer 2005, impacting 132 students. In all we estimate that 600 undergraduates and 130 graduates will use the lab/classroom each year.
