FYI, here are samples of two abstracts Spark has already
submitted:<br>
<br>
<b><big>Teaching Computational Thinking: Examples from Weather and
Climate Modeling</big></b><br>
<br>
Computer modeling and computational thinking are critical
components of modern science. Workshop participants will try out
several activities which illustrate aspects of computational
thinking and systems science. Topics include simulations, model
resolution, feedback loops, scaling and the need for
supercomputers, limitations of models, uncertainty, and more.
Activities will focus on specific examples from weather and
climate modeling, but the principles are applicable to many
different scientific and engineering disciplines.<br>
<br>
<b><big>Computer Games, Simulations, and Virtual Labs for STEM
Education</big></b><br>
<br>
We will present the equivalent of a "literature review" or
"consumer's report" of a broad range of computer games,
interactive computer-based simulations, and virtual laboratories
intended for use in STEM education. This review will cover various
science content disciplines - including the physical sciences,
life sciences, and Earth sciences - as well as math and
engineering topics. We will present materials from a broad array
of sources. We will also direct participants to a web site that
provides more in-depth and extensive listings and reviews of such
resources than we can cover during a one-hour presentation.
Although there are several good online collections of such
resources focused on specific topics (e.g. astronomy education) or
from specific sources (e.g. NOAA's games web site), we believe
this web site is the first to present such a collection spanning
the gamut of sources and STEM content disciplines. We will briefly
demonstrate several games, simulations, and virtual labs during
the course of this presentation. We will also demonstrate some of
the educational games and simulations developed by our group at
NCAR (the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Boulder),
which focus primarily on Earth science topics.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>So sorry for the radio silence on EMP. I have been almost
completely focussed on getting my commitments to the upcoming
NASA IRIS mission under control. I completely blew the planning
for meeting this month. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Early next month we are expecting a baby and that has been
playing on my mind/time a lot too. sigh.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would everyone be suited to a one/two day meeting in early to
mid March here? I think we have enough funds to cover a lot of
travel and accommodation - I will double check with Joanne
before I commit to anything though.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will have one more canvas to the folks who attended the
meeting in Australia about uploading photos and I have yet to
pull the professional images taken by the North Queensland
Tourist Bureau that (by helping them) we were able to get access
to.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope that you are all well, staying away from the nasty flu
virus and are looking forward to a busy collaboration in 2013.</div>
