EventScope
Helps Teachers Teach
Many
teachers develop their own hands-on lessons
to bring the real world into their classrooms.
For example, students studying ecology may spend
some class time on field trips to nearby areas
of ecological interest. Teachers can spend considerable
time creating meaningful learning contexts and
updating their classroom resources. However,
teachers interested in space science cannot
easily involve students in hands-on experimentation
and exploration as it is practiced by the space
science community.
EventScope responds to classroom needs with
the following:
| |
Brings
otherwise-inaccessible sites of real science
missions into the classroom in 3D, enabling
students to use real-world situations to
engage in scientific inquiry and test the
scientific concepts they learn in class.
Provides
modularized curriculum supplements to
offer teachers maximum flexibility and
independence in curriculum planning.
Uses
pilot testing, teacher insight, and student
feedback to improve the lessons and technology
interface.
