Project Deliverables

1.  Design of I-TEST web site linked to the International Water Institute Center for Watershed Education and Tri-College University. The website will connect project site web pages and link to the national I-TEST web site.

2.  Targeted video segments (ex. How to Conduct a Watershed Survey; Managing Volunteer Data) broadcast specifically to educate students, teachers and the public at the five project sites, but available basin-wide through PPBCT.  Click HERE for targeted video segments.

3.  Five half hour watershed science documentaries to be produced and aired by Prairie Public broadcast network (regional and national broadcasts.) Please contact the International Water Institute for copies of these half-hour shows.

4.  Training videos produced from segments of project school classroom resources. (Applicable for basin-wide or national dissemination).
Click HERE for training videos.

5.  On-line lessons and curriculum to support IT training (ex. Arc View GIS Instructions; Working with Land-use Imagery Data). Click HERE to go to our Moodle learning management site. Please log in as a guest.

6.  Guide sheets on information technology applications to enhance student learning and teaching strategies (ex. Effective Teaching through Classroom Video-conferencing).  Click HERE for guide sheets.

7.  A career and life planning resource guide specific to information technology tools used in watershed science.

8.  A three-credit web-based course in information technology strategies related to earth and physical science.

9.  A model school-based program for River Watch volunteer stream monitoring.

10.  Team presentations on Water Quality Findings and Technology as a Tool for Learning at Red River Basin International Water Conference and science teacher conferences in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Manitoba.

11.   A model for basin-wide River Watch volunteer monitoring program for program growth and sustainability.
