What is SEA-IT-LIVE?
•Virtual Field Trips – Live from sea and interactive– Theme and script – Host
•Educational Website– Background and lesson plans– Key concepts– Data and research
SEA-IT-LIVE
Applications
• Virtual field trip aboard a research vessel – Students (6-12) and community members – Learn about microbial oceanography
• Educational tool for teachers– Integrating technology and education– Standards based curriculum
• Showcase C-MORE and HOT’s research, discoveries, and collaboration – General public, students, and teachers
SEA-IT-LIVE
Partnership
• Kapolei Middle School– Pilot program– Researchers will work with teachers
• Create curriculum aligned with standards
• Create laboratory assignments across all grade levels aligned with episodes
• Help guide the direction of the
episodes
SEA-IT-LIVE
Episode Ideas
• Scientific Method – how it’s applied in oceanography
• Food Web• Oceanographers in the Field• Hawaii Ocean Time-series• Three part series about global
warming– How it’s affecting the ocean– How oceanographers study this– Answers they are finding

Timeline:
• Pilot Project Funding (Dave Karl)– Goal is to have pilot episode and corresponding
classroom activities finalized by January 2010
• NSF grant proposal submitted June 24, 2009– For funding starting 2010– Long term goal to offer PDCP course for episode
and classroom curriculum development
SEA-IT-LIVE
Timeline:
• Pilot Project – Pre-developed episode concept (overarching
theme aimed to fit 6th,7th,and 8th grade)– Teacher input on episode content and classroom
activities (lab) fitting the theme• Articulation days
1. Match standards to overarching theme 2. Teachers bring current activities for the above standards 3. Share current activities4. Brainstorm and develop new or modified activities
SEA-IT-LIVE
Timeline:
• Funded Project – 3-4 Episodes per year
• These will be dictated by Teacher/Researcher collaboration
– Ongoing Professional Development with PD credit possibility
