A NEW VISION FOR ASTRONOMY EDUCATION A MISSION TO REAWAKEN STUDENTS INTEREST FOR SCIENCE SCIENTISTS AND EDUCATORS WORKING TOGETHER Global Hands-on Universe

Why we want to do it? It is in schools that we change the world !!! Who is our target?  Educational System / Scientists & Society Interaction What we want to deliver / accomplish ? Science culture  Literate citizens Acquisition of key skills Development of Critical Thinking Problem Solving Experience Citizenship awareness Teachers continuous professional development CHANGE THE WAY WE TEACH AND LEARN WE ALL LIVE ON THE SAME PLANET...JUST 1 PLANET Hands-on Universe Global

GTTP  Use of Available Resources in the classroom Salsa J Stellarium Selected HOU Resources Selected Faulkes Telescope Res. Google Earth/Sky/Mars UNAWE materials Dark Sky Awareness Mat I am Galileo Material Mathan Association Paper Kit ASP selected resources Local Resources Etc…

Machine Large-Scale Testing of Inquiry and Conceptual Understanding: GHOU as a Test-bed (from Science Magazine)

We intend to build a database of astronomers willing to adopt schools all over the world. This will help educators to engage in real research in schools. Your picture missing here

An Example of How We Work, from last Week: SusanMurabona of Kenya (using Skype video) Coached Students Tiffany Farmer and Ruby Knight in Oakland, California, how to make a true color image:

An Example of How We Work, from last Month: And they got this:

A note of Caution: : How Far is M51:

Example (#2) of How We Work, from last Year: George Smoot Talking to new GHOU teachers in Kenya:

From India Workshop with Rich Lohman

The Future! 1)We will do everything we can to help Global teachers get going -- things will always go slower than we like, but we will get there!! 2)We all figure out how to make GHOU succeed around the world! 3)Students and teachers from Everywhere can begin to discover the scientist and astronomer within themselves! 4)We all start to work together and learn from and help each other. 5) We learn a lot and have a lot of fun!!
