Project Niu is an educational program that provides K-12 students and teachers with hands-on, project-based experiences with satellite technologies used in remotely monitoring the ocean. Through deploying and tracking a satellite-tracked "message in a bottle" as it drifts out to sea, students develop a firsthand understanding of ocean currents and marine debris while forming personal connections to the environment. The Project Niu team includes engineers and scientists at Archinoetics, LLC and is sponsored by NOAA's B-WET Hawaii Program.

This class explores three different aspects of cloud computing: distributed data crunching with MapReduce, interactive Web-based applications with Ajax, and renting computing cycles. How are these threads all related? Click here to find out! This course uses Amazon AWS for programming "in the clouds", and Cloud9, a library for Hadoop that I've been developing for this course and to support my own research.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), builds on Shulman’s idea of PCK, and attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK).

Everything is up for grabs. Everything will change. There is a magnificent sweep of intellectual landscape right in front of us. Yale computer scientist David Gelernter entered the public mind one morning in January '92 when The New York Sunday Times ran his picture on the front page of the business section; it filled nearly the whole page. The text of the accompanying story occupied almost another whole page inside. In 1991 Gelernter had published a book for technologists (an extended research paper) called Mirror Worlds, claiming in effect that one day, there would be something like the Web. As well as forecasting the Web, the book, according to the people who built these systems, also helped lay the basis for the internet programming language "Java" and Sun Microsystems' "Jini."
