DATA IN THE CLASSROOM

Data in the Classroom is an online resource for K-12 teachers interested in using real scientific data in their teaching... Generally speaking, our approach to software and technology development will be to adapt existing tools rather than develop new software. To address the requirements for the data translation system and Web-based interfaces, we propose starting with two tools that have already been developed. By employing Web services and published protocols, we believe we can incorporate the capabilities of these existing tools into new, customized interfaces which we will design. We believe that these two initial tools will address a number of educational activities and data types. However we are open to identifying other approaches and starting points in consultation with NOAA staff.
