An NSF-ITEST funded project, CyberBridge seeks to expand the use of media and cyber-infrastructure in the classroom while improving science instruction and student experience through interdisciplinary teams of teachers.
The CyberBridge Program is funded by the National Science Foundation's Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program and is a collaborative among UC San Diego, San Diego State, and the Sweetwater Union High School District. The goals of the program are:
1) to expand the use of media and cyber-infrastructure in the classroom
2) to improve science instruction and student experience with information technology (IT) within an interdisciplinary construct
3) to increase teacher and student understanding concerning the relevance of science and role(s) of technology in future careers
4) to strengthen the relationships between K-12 schools/students and the science community
