Project Master It: Moving On will continue to move students of the Nettleton School District from the twentieth to the twenty-first century by continuing work begun with a previous EETT grant at Nettleton’s Fox Meadow Intermediate School called Project MASTER IT. Seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students will gain access to modern technologies that will provide the opportunity to explore mathematical and scientific problems, which should translate into increased student achievement. These students will learn to create a variety of multimedia projects thus enabling them to meet the demands of the digital age.
Highly trained, qualified teachers will facilitate students in the discovery of critical math and science concepts through exploration with handheld computers, science probe-ware, data analysis and publication of student work. Higher order thinking skills will be used to design procedures to answer student initiated questions. The creation of multimedia publications such as power points, movies, and Web 2.0 will enable students to develop critical thinking skills needed to be successful in advanced math and science courses at the high school and college levels. These skills will be transferrable across the curriculum including Language Arts and Social Studies.
Goals of Project Master It: Moving On are the following:
1. Improve math and science Benchmark and SAT 10 scores for all.
2. Ensure all students in the Nettleton District become technologically literate by eighth grade as measured by ISTE’s NETS for students.
3. Provide quality and relevant technology professional development for teachers, ensuring that they are also technologically literate.
4. Promote a love, interest, and success in math and science for all students through integration of technology tools for inquiry-based learning.
The grant will purchase Vernier LabQuests numerous probes, laptops, ipods, microphones, etc. As well as, make our building wireless.....
