  2. "New and stirring things are belittled because if they are not belittled, the humiliating question arises, 'Why then are you not taking part in them?' " - H. G. Wells Technology is not a subject to be belittled, it is here with us and we must embrace technology into our lives and the lives of our students.

  3. Importance of Technology in the Classroom • Provides the teacher with limitless resources • Give substance to once abstract ideas • Explains ideas or events not covered in a standard textbook • Uses an alternative learning style • Ideas for teacher development

  4. Teacher Resources • Find Lesson Plans • Provide visual aides • Supplemental materials • Ideas for field trips • Resource pages to help parents and students at home Click here to find lesson plans on the Smithsonian Education Site

  5. Abstract Ideas in View • Real pictures of subjects and ideas • Video presentations • Experiments to demonstrate ideas Click here to link Apollo video

NAS A Dire ct! - This Web broadcast has been developed to allow viewers a unique and exciting way to follow launches, landings or other special events occurring at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Each broadcast includes entertaining and informative programming, insider information, and interviews with experts, dignitaries and special guests. For some events, the audience will have an opportunity to submit questions and interact with special guests. Interactive Media - Search for new worlds, drive a rover, keep an eye on space rocks, chat with NASA, tour the cosmos, join a team of scientists to plan a mission to Mars, and more. Kelly Roberts Educ. 504 Scanned Text Document NASA - For Educators (9-12) - Multimedia Page 2 of 3 Real Time Satellite Track - This site provides several ways to get information in ‘real time’ for sighting opportunities from your back yard. You can see the flight path the Space Shuttle takes when it lands, or find orbital tracking data for the International Space Station and Space Shuttle. Models - The Cassini/Huygens Spacecraft, Hubble Space Telescope, and Mars spacecraft are just a few of the models that you can download and assemble. Check out these sites with skill levels that range from beginner to advanced. Central Operation of Resources for Educators (CORE - Educational materials such as videotape programs, slide sets, CD-ROMs, and DVDs are available for a minimal fee from CORE. CORE is a worldwide distribution center for NASA’s educational multimedia materials. NASA Liftoff to Learning Video Tape Series - is a sixteen-part videotape series. The videos contain footage from space flights, and each program comes with a printed video resource guide that provides valuable background information for teachers, resources for additional study, and practical hands-on demonstrations of some of the concepts presented in the videotapes. NASA’s Kids Science News Network (KSNN) - is a Web- and video-based program for everyone: students, educators, parents, or anyone else who wants to know why things work or what makes things happen. The target audience is K-5. Each broadcast is presented in an inquiry-based format that begins with a 1-minute, “streaming” video newsbreak from the KSNN Web site and is then followed up with a collection of resources. All programs are available in English and Spanish. NASA SCIence Files Series TM - is a series of 60-minute instructional programs that are free, interactive, closed-captioned, and standards-based. Each program is designed to integrate math, science, geography, and technology in grades 3-5. The broadcasts are accompanied by Web-based resources for students, educators and parents. NASA_CONNE - is a series of 30-minute instructional programs that are free, interactive, closed-captioned, and standards-based. Each program uses NASA projects, facilities, and researchers to emphasize mathematics, science, geography, and technology in grades 5-8. Each show has a lesson guide, a classroom activity, and a Web-based component. NASA LIVE - is a series of synchronous (two-way) videoconferencing programs for learning, instructional enrichment, and professional development for students and faculty by engaging them in an interactive, virtual environment with NASA researchers. Educators (K-12) and college/university faculty, college/university students, professional organizations, and student organizations may schedule a videoconference. Examples of Student NASA Pages

  7. Not Your Standard Textbook • Use to present events that are happening right now Click on picture for information on Hurricane Katrina

  8. Not Your Standard Textbook • Ideas not covered in textbooks such as the supernatural • Use for homework help by students and parents Click here to visit the Science Hobbiest site for weird science Click here to visit Houghton-Mifflin’s site for textbook support

  9. An Alternative Learning Style • New ways of looking at old information • Combines visuals with written concepts • Prepares students for the technology world they live in • Allows parents to participate in education • Allows interaction to occur

  10. Teacher Development Professional development is a requirement found in most states for teachers. Several web sites offer trainings through video and satellite on a variety of topics such as: 1. Assessment 2. Content Area Many workshops and courses are available online • Click here to link to Annenberg Media Learner Company , an excellent site for professional develpoment.
