Excerpt from the New York Times in an article by Peter Lewis in the 1840’s describing the introduction of the blackboard.

"Remarkable new technology is introduced into the school system and experts predict education will be revolutionized. The technology will, as never before, allow the widespread dissemination of new concepts and ideas that stimulate young minds and free the teacher for more creative pursuits. Yet, the magic fails to materialize, and within a few years articles appear in the popular press asserting that the failure obviously arises from the teachers not being skilled enough in the new technology."

to problem-solve and think critically:

• Weather Satellite Images• Remote Sensing Data• Government Databases



Goal: Compare 2 approaches to teaching authentic problem solving using Real World information

Objectives covered: Scientific inquiry, data analysis, position & motion, weather, geography

Methodology: “Textbook” vs. Unique & Compelling Resources

The “Text book” Problem

A ship travels from point A to point B in 24 hours as shown on the attached map. Using the map, determine:

1. Where you are going; &

2. When you will arrive.




The Internet Enhanced Problem:Imagine you are a stowaway on a cargo boat.

Cautiously looking over the edge of the vessel, you see nothing but ocean on all sides, and you decide that you want to get back home without alerting the ship's crew to your presence.

You know only the ship's identification code, lucky for you; you remembered to pack your laptop, cellular phone and modem.




Today’s classroom

Ship A leaves Port B at 12:45 PM headed for Port C which is 1250 miles away….if Ship A is going 23 mph when will it arrive?
