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","2007: Teacher Professional Development Fellowship Program",2007,NA07SEC4690006,"$303,146","Vance Ablott",Virginia,Arlington,Arlington,VA08,"38.89273, -77.08059","2007-08-01T00:00:00 - 2011-07-31T00:00:00","The Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education provides a competitive program that selects & provides financial assistance to current science and math teachers for 10-month fellowship in the federal government. This project would allow NOAA to continue to be one of the host agencies, with one teacher fellow hosted in FY08, and up to two teacher fellows in FY09 and FY10. These teacher fellows will work with NOAA's Office of Education to learn about how federal science and math education policy and programs are structured. The Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education provides coordinated training and professional development activities and trips for the fellows that work in up to 10 different federal agencies.",
