OssaBEST: Ossabaw E-exploration for Students and Teachers
The NSF has funded the grant entitled "OssaBEST: Ossabaw E-exploration for Students and Teachers." Ashraf Saad (Computer Science) is the Principal Investigator and Joy N. Reed (Computer Science), Lei He (Information Technology), Edward Strauser (Middle and Secondary Education), and Patrick Hannigan (Middle and Secondary Education) are CO-PI's.This award is effective January 1, 2008 and expires December 31, 2010. The grant amount is for $1,199,975 and is to prepare 150 teachers and 120 students from grades 7th through 10th to use advanced information technologies in the context of wider education. Students and teachers from all 11 middle schools and 7 high schools in the Savannah-Chatham Public School System district will participate. The project theme is guided electronic (E) exploration of Ossabaw Island. The project provides support for inquiry-based instruction using state-of-the-art information technologies. Students and teachers observe physical phenomena on the island via real-time transmission of data streams from sensors placed on the island, electronically document and present data collected, and create a web-based multimedia guide of the island. Through a series of workshops, summer camps, and year round activities, participating teachers and students will be introduced to the underlying concepts and technologies, and in classroom work, be shown how to analyze, catalog, and display the data.
