Dept of Environmental Protection Grant
Mr. Seaman applied for DEP Environmental Education grant in the amount of $3,000 for materials to build an algae bio-reactor. The algae produced will then be used to extract oil that can be turned into bio-diesel. This project, if funded will include the Agricultural Biotechnology classes, STEM Exploratory classes, Hydrology, and Automation/Robotics class. Once established the bio-reactor can and will also be outfitted to produce kelp that can be harvested for their oils.
Technology Integration Matrix
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e.reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.
