New at YES I Can! Science, http://www.yesican.yorku.ca
The YES I Can! Science Project, hosted by the Faculty of Pure and
Applied Science of York University, Toronto has just launched a series
of online professional development courses for K-12 Science teachers.
The courses are self-paced and designed to enable participants to log on
and off and arrange their schedules to suit their work and other
commitments. Registration for all courses is ongoing on a continuous
intake model. There are no prescribed course dates; participants may
register at any time and start and finish courses at their convenience.
All courses are approved and accredited by the Ontario College of
Teachers. They comply with the Professional Learning Program standards
set by the College and are available online to Ontario teachers either
in Ontario or abroad. These courses are also available to teachers in
other countries wishing to expand their current knowledge and experience
in curriculum, teaching strategies or use of technology.
Registration has already opened for the following courses.
Canadians in Space
------------------
This fourteen hour course for K-12 teachers promotes Canadian
achievements in space, providing teachers with resources to teach basic
science concepts in a variety of space-specific contexts, such as: a
mission to Mars, building an orbiting laboratory, monitoring radiation
from space, using satellite technology to monitor species migration and
habitat changes, living and working in extreme environments and using
robotics to move payloads in space.
Mars: Living and Working in a Closed Environment
------------------------------------------------
This fourteen hour course for Kindergarten to Grade 6 teachers is based
on the theme of a manned mission to Mars. Teachers will be provided with
an extensive set of resources and strategies to teach basic science
concepts from the Earth and Space Science strand in grades K-6 in a
context that fosters the understanding of connections among science,
technology, society, the environment and the exploration of space.
YES I Can! Science
------------------
This twelve hour course consists of three modules focussing on the use
of the YES I Can! Science database. Course participants will have
opportunities to explore and use all features of the database:
curriculum browsing and searching; class management/curriculum tracking;
resources browsing and searching; and rating resources. Participants
will be required to choose and evaluate resources for use in their own
classrooms.
Registration for other courses will be opening over the coming weeks:
-Engaging in Real Science
-Ozone and Greenhouse Gases: Understanding the Impact of Environmental
Change for Canadians
-Radiation: It's Been Around Forever!
-Robotics: How Canadians Will Help Explore the Red Planet
-Walkerton: Combating Fear With Knowledge

'DIGITAL DIVIDE' LESS CLEAR
Several recent studies indicate that what was once a clear 'digital divide'
is now becoming murky. According to researchers at the University of
California at Los Angeles, the gap between those with Internet access and
those without is closing when measured by the degree of education computer
users have attained. A government report showed the gap between urban and
rural users disappearing. A third report from the Pew Research Center
indicated that the gap between whites and African Americans is narrowing.
Based on analysis like this, the Bush administration has proposed
elimination of two key programs from the fiscal year 2003 budget. However,
groups trying to save the government programs argue that the digital divide
is not disappearing, it is changing. Norris Dickard, a senior associate at
the Benton Foundation, points out one new divide that emerging between those
with high-speed Internet access and those with slower dial-up access.
Jeffrey Cole, head of the UCLA study, believes that access issues may be
getting better, but that there is significant divide in how people use the
Internet and what their Internet skills are.

Happy Summer folks,
If you are looking for some last minute July 4 activities, your students
might enjoy the My America virtual field trip. It visits sites on the
Statue of Liberty, the American flag, Ellis Island, American Indians,
bald eagles and more. It's a fun collection of things American. See it at:
http://www.field-trips.org/ss/america/ and then click Start Field Trip.
Also, last month I mentioned our featured trip, "Windows on the World".
What I failed to mention is this: If you are pursuing any foreign travel
this summer, the trip visits some great sites including, The Consumer
Information Center, The Embassies of Washington, D.C., the U.S.
Consulate, a Currency Converter, translator, Center for Disease Control
and Prevention....basically some sites packed with very useful info.
Many of the sites are U.S. based, but there are also sites on times
zones, and world weather that is really not dependent on where you are.
See the trip at: http://www.field-trips.org/cross/world/ and then click
Start Field Trip.
Best,
Kim
