integrate digital microscopy technology into MAIS schools in grades 3 through 8 during 2006-2008. |

b. |
align digital microscopy activities with Project AERO and/or USA NSES standards. |
|
|
c. |
prepare, at the MAIS Fall Conference of 2006 in Cairo, Egypt, a leadership cadre of 15 MAIS middle school teachers (Grades 6-8) as Digital Microscopy Leaders (DMLs) to introduce digital microscopy to their own students, integrate it throughout the science curriculum, and diffuse it to their elementary school colleagues and the greater school community.
|
|
d. |
prepare, at the MAIS Fall Conference of 2007 in Rome, Italy, a leadership cadre of 15 MAIS elementary school teachers (Grades 3-5) as Digital Microscopy Leaders (DMLs) to introduce digital microscopy to their own students, integrate it throughout the science curriculum, and diffuse it to their
elementary school colleagues and the greater school community.
|
|
e. |
have DMLs encourage and lead in the acquisition and use of more DigiScopes or equivalent educational technologies within their own schools.
|
|
f. |
assist, with on-site visits, DMLs with classroom utilization and in-school diffusion of ZOOM instruction and technology.
|
