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.","Literacy Volunteers America of Monroe County, Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), Florida Literacy Coalition (FLC)" "Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program","Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education","2010: Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship",2010,NA10SEC0080036,"$591,721","Vance Ablott",Virginia,Arlington,Arlington,VA08,"38.89273, -77.08059","2010-08-01T00:00:00 - 2015-08-31T00:00:00","The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program was enacted by Congress and is administered by the Department of Energy-Office of Science and managed by the Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education. Participation includes the Department of Energy (DOE), NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The program provides an opportunity for current public or private elementary and secondary mathematics, technology, and science classroom teachers with demonstrated excellence in teaching an opportunity to serve in the national public policy arena. This proposal seeks funds to place Einstein Fellows at NOAA over the five-year period 2010-2015. The NOAA Einstein Fellows will support NOAA's education vision of an environmentally literate public and a diverse workforce who will use NOAA's products and services to make informed decisions that enable responsible action. The Fellows provide practical insight in establishing and operating education programs and they provide ""real world"" perspectives to program managers developing or managing education programs.","Museum of Science Boston"
