What is SEA-IT-LIVE?

•Virtual Field Trips – Live from sea and interactive– Theme and script – Host

•Educational Website– Background and lesson plans– Key concepts– Data and research

SEA-IT-LIVE

Applications

• Virtual field trip aboard a research vessel – Students (6-12) and community members – Learn about microbial oceanography

• Educational tool for teachers– Integrating technology and education– Standards based curriculum

• Showcase C-MORE and HOT’s research, discoveries, and collaboration – General public, students, and teachers

SEA-IT-LIVE

Partnership

• Kapolei Middle School– Pilot program– Researchers will work with teachers

• Create curriculum aligned with standards

• Create laboratory assignments across all grade levels aligned with episodes

• Help guide the direction of the

episodes

SEA-IT-LIVE

Episode Ideas

• Scientific Method – how it’s applied in oceanography

• Food Web• Oceanographers in the Field• Hawaii Ocean Time-series• Three part series about global

warming– How it’s affecting the ocean– How oceanographers study this– Answers they are finding

Timeline:

• Pilot Project Funding (Dave Karl)– Goal is to have pilot episode and corresponding

classroom activities finalized by January 2010

• NSF grant proposal submitted June 24, 2009– For funding starting 2010– Long term goal to offer PDCP course for episode

and classroom curriculum development

SEA-IT-LIVE

Timeline:

• Pilot Project – Pre-developed episode concept (overarching

theme aimed to fit 6th,7th,and 8th grade)– Teacher input on episode content and classroom

activities (lab) fitting the theme• Articulation days

1. Match standards to overarching theme 2. Teachers bring current activities for the above standards 3. Share current activities4. Brainstorm and develop new or modified activities

SEA-IT-LIVE

Timeline:

• Funded Project – 3-4 Episodes per year

• These will be dictated by Teacher/Researcher collaboration

– Ongoing Professional Development with PD credit possibility
