In the second funded year of the Lab-in-a-Bag project, selected 5th and 6th grade educators from the participating schools and preservice teachers, receive a similar set of technology tools and professional development. Following their training, these teachers develop and deliver a two-week summer school/technology camp program for the upper elementary and beginning middle school grades centered around a study of the ecosystem in and around Tyler in coordination with Camp Tyler and the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife. Hand-held probes and microscopes will be used to collect water, soil and plant samples. Digital cameras, scanners and computers will be used as students analyze data and prepare reports of their findings. Teachers engaged in the second funded year of the project continue as mentors at their campuses, sharing new knowledge, equipment, and instructional skills with fellow educators.
