2009-2010 |
Development and Implementation of a New Online Certificate Program in Learning Sciences and New Digital Media and Technology I co-authored this proposal with Daniel Hickey and Kylie Peppler (Award amount: $75,000).The online certificate program proposed in this grant will be unique in that a new web-based hub will be created to foster learning and collaboration across online courses, and even after the courses have ended. In addition to co-authoring this grant I will be responsible for developing and teaching one of the flagship courses. | |

2007-2009 |
Semiotic Pivots and Activity Spaces for Elementary Science (SPASES)Co-authored this NSF-funded grant proposal with Noel Enyedy (Award ID: 0733218; Award amount: $285,000). I played a central role in designing and developing the project, which takes advantage of sensing technologies to support k-1 students learning about physical science concepts. The SPASES project made use of play—a developmental strength of young children—to enable students to interact with and simulate force and motion concepts. The sensing technology allowed the computer to track students’ physical actions and respond with information on a shared display. Publications regarding our findings are currently in preparation. | |
