  1. Research Sponsors ImagiWorks Palm Computing

  2. Innovative K-12 Learning Scenario Knowledge Network: NetCourses, Modeling tools, Case studies Lesson Plans Data sets Field notes Virtual teachers Internet Image sensors Real-time data collection Students at Remote Schools Home

  3. Research Trajectories • Design • New pocket computers, hardware • Interactions, UI to support learning • Informal, formal learning environments • Learning • Promote inquiry around rich content • Linking classroom knowledge with real world knowledge • On-line guidance, scaffolds • Embedded assessments • Remote mentoring • New framework for “design for learning”

  4. Evolving framework of “design for learning” User-centered design Learner-centered design Learner and Social context design ??

  5. Hypothesis for Ubiquitous Computers • Low cost • Ubiquitous access • Good activities • Good curricula • Good teaching will reform education.

  6. Study #1:Alameda Creek Project

  7. Instructional Goals • Improve student understanding of ecosystems, biology, links to other discipline • Improve students inquiry skills • Linking students’ classroom knowledge with out of classroom learning • Capitalize on technology for multiple learning context (formal and informal) • Build students understanding of the nature of science (theory-building, using evidence)

  9. Building Models of Water Quality

  10. Classroom Lab Activities with Palms

  11. Field Trip with Palms

  12. Preliminary Results • Students improve their understanding of acquatic ecology concepts • Students have a more complex understanding of ecosystems • Need more field support and guidance • Link between web and probes • Need holistic view into student work • Need more education applications for Palms
