  5. Project Goal “…to strengthen community college math, science, language arts and educational technology courses to ensure that they prepare preservice P-12 teachers to make effective use of innovative Internet-based tools and curriculum resources in the classroom.”

  6. Impact Preservice Teachers & Other STEM Students • 44% of US teachers took some/all of math and science coursework at community college • Model effective use of technology in content courses to influence eventual classroom practice of next generation of teachers • Infuse authentic, real-world resources into STEM coursework (“Unique & Compelling”)

  7. USED Pathways Project • Focus on real-world applications in science, math, educational technology, & language arts • Savvy Cyber Professor: 26-hour, 8 session hybrid professional development program • Library of Real World Learning Objects (RWLOs) • 3 year program involving faculty from 33 community colleges

  8. Curriculum Focus Inquiry-based Real-time data Engaging problems Telecollaboration Authentic Learning

  9. Essential Question: How can the Internet benefit student learning in core subjects?

  10. Internet-based Applications Finding Lesson Plans e-Pal Exchanges, Telecollaborative projects Publishing Student Lab Reports online Publishing Student Stories to the Web WebQuests Simulations Virtual Labs (Interactive Frog Dissection) Historical Diaries Weather Satellite images Using Online Quizzes Online Textbook Real-time data

  11. Internet-based Applications Real-time Data Unique and Compelling E-Pal / Telecollaborative Student Web Page Advanced Historical Diary Innovative Web Quests Virtual Labs 21st Century Workforce Skills Traditional Simulations Online Textbook Lesson Plans Basic Online Quizzes Partially Proficient Proficient Advanced Proficient Skill Level

  12. Unique & Compelling Applications Internet applications can provide a revolutionary new instructional tool that can create opportunities for students to engage in more authentic learning. Unique Cannot be done without Internet technology Compelling Provides students with real world learning experiences

  13. Unique & Compelling Applications • Real Time Data • Telecollaborative Projects • Student Publishing • Primary Source Data

  14. Real World Learning Objects (RWLOs) • Concise core instructional activities focused on discrete topics in higher ed • Science, math, ed tech and lang. arts • Incorporate Internet-based“unique & compelling” activities • Easily used in similar coursesat other institutions

  15. Savvy Cyber Professor Goals • Learn & incorporate newstrategies for teaching • Use and create RWLOs foruse in CC courses • Ultimately: Model new teachingstrategies to pre-service teachers

  18. Online Sessions • Approximately 1 per week • Each designed as a 3 hour session • Discussion assignments • Facilitated by online instructor

  19. Stevens-NJCC Strategic Partnership • 5 Community Colleges • 4 Faculty from each College (math, science, educational technology, humanities w/emphasis on math, science) • $1,000 to each participating faculty member who completes Savvy Cyber Professor & develops a RWLO • Travel reimbursement for participation at f2f meetings • Dissemination plans for additional faculty

  20. Next Steps • Program Schedule: • mid-May, preferably a Friday – 5/20 • postpone last session to Sept. for addl. promotion • Participant Selection • Stevens will follow-up w/selection criteria • Location of Hands-on Sessions • Mercer CC (central location - reduce travel)
