Research Opportunities

The ITS Center provides an environment that promotes ongoing development of research questions and projects relating to the use of information technology to teach and learn science and mathematics. In addition to providing access to the tools needed to explore these research topics, the ITS Center also provides access to classrooms.

All candidates benefit from:

Interdisciplinary Project Teams: The Final Project

Team members work together to develop a topic, gather information, discuss theories and create a final project to present upon completion of each summer session. The goal is to gain experiences and create information that can be brought back into the field to aid teachers in transferring current research into the public school system.
