Interactive versions of the visualizations will also be disseminated via the AMNH website. Visualization assets will be distributed to NOAA for utilization on climate.gov and Science on a Sphere. The creation of training programs and educational materials for informal education professionals will enhance the experience and efficacy of the data visualizations as tools to understand and build stewardship of Earth systems.","Institute for Learning Innovation, Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) Chicago, New York University (NYU), NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) / Climate Prediction Center, NOAA Research, NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, NYU Center for Advanced Digital Applications" "Engaging ESL Adult and Youth Learners in Technologically Facilitated Outdoor Experiential Learning to Improve Environmental, Ocean, Climate and English Literacy","Literacy Volunteers America of Monroe County","2010: ELG for Informal/Nonformal Education",2010,NA10SEC0080025,"$203,454","Mary Casanova",Florida,"Key West",Monroe,FL28,"24.55448, -81.78707","2010-10-01T00:00:00 - 2012-09-30T00:00:00","Literacy Volunteers America of Monroe County and The College of Exploration are developing and implementing a pilot project to target traditionally under-represented ethnic groups who are limited English proficient – many reading and writing in English at the grade 0 - grade 5.5 level. The project goals are for learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) to use digital photo cameras, digital video cameras, waterproof underwater HD cameras and GPS technologies to geo-locate, explore, observe, record, display and tell stories in English both in words, photos and short HD video clip sequences. Stories will be about the exploration of places like the National Marine Sanctuaries and other areas of the country and coasts where there are scientific observation and monitoring opportunities created and supported by NOAA partners.","College of Exploration, Cooke Communications Florida, LLC., ProLiteracy, Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), Pigeon Key Foundation, Volunteers for Adult Literacy in Florida (VALF)"
