Abstract

The University of Findlay, in collaboration with area public schools, is in the second year of a unique partnership whose mission is the infusion of technology into a problem-based learning unit focusing on the water quality of a local river and resulting implications for the Great Lakes. Funded jointly by private industry, state government, and higher education, the project requires teacher teams (Grades 3-11) to mentor an undergraduate teacher education student as they spend one year developing/teaching a water-based unit, using real-world experiences and appropriate technologies. Children and teachers who are geographically distant are networked through various telecommunications technologies. This paper will describe the project and future plans.
