The participants were asked to bring the group up to date on
their activities in the last year. Time was spent on Monday
and Tuesday.
Ann Cutter |
Ann brought in a physical model of ground water flow and discussed
her plans for attempting a simple mathematical model for it. |
Jill Harp |
Jill talked about her experiences at Winston-Salem State in the
last year using Stella with students. She also discussed the possible
computational science minor. |
Erin McNelis |
Erin talked briefly about her work with the calculus for life sciences
course at Clemson, and also about her progress on her model of circadian
rhythm. |
Clyde Metz |
Clyde showed his work on incorporating computational chemistry into
the curriculum and discussed what tools are appropriate when. |
Carolyn Morgan and Morris Morgan |
Carolyn and Morris discussed using Stella with seniors in the last
year, along with their plans for incorporating it as a paradygm in freshman
intro to programming courses. |
Mitsue Nakamura |
Mitsue gave an overview on the Houston team's work on mapping
interactivate onto the Texas curriculum standards for middle grades. |
Donald Plank |
Don gave an overview of the proposed computational science curriculum
being developed for Stockton College. |
Sylvia Clark Pulliam |
Sylvia discussed her plans for working with the Shifflets on more
curriculum. |
Hugh Sanders |
Hugh discussed what modeling techniques he has used in his math
courses and discussed his next project: developing a plan of attack for
teaching math courses for education majors. |
Shawn Sendlinger |
Shawn gave an overview of his use of modeling in chemistry classes. |
Bob Tilidetzke |
Bob gave an overview of the modeling he is incorporating into
his math courses for education majors. He handed out several examples
of guided worksheets to use with activities from interactivate. |
Julian Wilder |
Julian presented information on his concerns regarding the
state of undergraduate science education |
