We also work with the following groups:

• Envirionmental Literacy and Inquiry group (ELI)
  
  The Environmental Literacy and Inquiry Group investigate how to improve environmental learning and instruction in science classes for students in middle school settings, with a focus on the role that geospatial technologies (GT) such as Google Earth and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can play. We conduct research in these main areas:
  
  • Designing and testing environmental literacy curricula that integrates GT to promote learning.
  • Developing and analyzing the role that educative curriculum materials can be used to help teachers enhance their science pedagogical content knowledge to use the new curricula most effectively.
  • Assessing the impact of the new GT-embedded curricula on student learning
  We are especially interested in investigating:
  
  
  • How GT use in middle schools can actively engage learners in developing essential spatial thinking and data analysis skills as they develop enduring understandings of real-world environmental problems and issues while utilizing the power of technology in learning.
  • How learning science with GT-embedded curriculum influences environmental attitudes and behaviors with middle school learners.
• Broughal NASA Explorer School / Lehigh University Partnership
