Technology in Nature in Sanger (TINS)

Project Homepage:

The TINS project, sponsored by the Sanger Unified School District in California, proposes a linkage between the Sanger Nature Area and technology. This linkage will provide "real-world, real-time" school-to-career education in the areas of science and technology beginning with a pilot of Del Roy, Lone Star, and Jackson Elementary Schools and the science departments at Washington Academic Middle School and Sanger High School in the first year of the grant. By the end of 4 years all Sanger Schools will be involved in the TINS project; the fifth year will offer access for students from surrounding districts. With the innovative use of technology intensive professional development, classroom linkages via modems, sensors along trails, digital cameras, color printers and scanners, students can study a variety of scientific processes and record changes over time. A consortium of partners representing educational entities, private enterprise, and environmental special interest groups will provide assistance to this project.
