The Dryden X-Press: People & Places: Teachers Find NEW Enthusiasm 11/29/02 on how they can use NASA education activities in their Centers are an ideal wayto teach. from Brian Barr, lead technician for flight simulation, and James http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Newsroom/X-Press/stories/112902/ppl_teacherworkshop.htm
Extractions: Flyer Editor Astronauts, test pilots, Dryden aerospace professionals and teachers, who have developed extraordinary lessons using NASA materials and projects, were part of the annual NASA Educator Workshop (NEW) at the Center in July. The workshop included tours of aircraft such as the famous high-speed, high-altitude research aircraft SR-71. Educators learned background information from Bob Meyer, who as a flight test engineer flew in the back seat of the two-seat SR-71. Currently, he is Dryden acting deputy director. "NEW is an opportunity of a lifetime," said Pamela Leestma, a teacher from Bellflower Christian School in Bellflower, Calif. "This workshop will help and enhance your life in a way to inspire your students; this is my investment in the future and it is a great honor to be a part of it." This year 25 educators from all over the country met at Dryden, joining a total of 250 K-12 teachers participating in the workshops at the 10 NASA centers. The workshop is an all expense-paid, two-week program exploring new methods to inspire and teach students who are learning mathematics, sciences, technology and geography in kindergarten through grade 12.

Extractions: Virtual United States Air Forces (VUSAFS) was formed in November 2000 as Virtual United States Air Forces (VUSAFS) and became an active military Virtual Organization on November 22 of that year. Originally started as a Saturday/Sunday night flying club by founder and retired Commander in Chief John Joerg, it quickly became more than just a club. With more and more people joining flights and asking to become members of the club the idea for VUSAFS was established with John Joerg (former CINC), Steve Berube (NAC), Ian Robertson (AMC), and Robert Osborne (Retired: Inactive Reserve) as the original members. Initially the commands were configured to reflect the real United States Air Force, however some of the members indicated a desire to fly Naval aircraft. With that in mind the organization was changed to include carrier borne aircraft and the name was changed to Virtual United States Air Forces. Now the Naval Aviation Command (NAC) is the premier Naval wing of VUSAFS. The organization continues to grow driven by the membership and the desire to belong to the most exclusive military virtual airline on the internet. At VUSAFS we do not strive to develop and maintain a large membership roster or promote our site throughout the flight simulation community. Our main goal has been, is now, and always will be participation in the online activities the staff and membership develop. Another very important goal of VUSAFS is to teach. The staff and membership of VUSAFS is dedicated to helping it's members develop skills that will enable them to enjoy the flight simulation experience to its fullest. We pride ourselves on helping other simulation pilots understand simple and complex flight principles via online courses at the

Extractions: S imulation programs are normally used to simulate real life experiences that are not normally available in the classroom because they are too expensive, too dangerous or take too long. Typically, they would deal with subjects such as how to operate a nuclear power station, or how tectonic plates moved. Some of these programs are becoming very powerful and have a great potential in various curriculum areas. Roblyer et al. (1997, 94) cite Alessi and Trollip (1991, 119) who identify two main types of simulations: "those that teach about something and those that teach how to do something" . They further divide the "about" simulations into physical and process types, and they divide the "how to" simulations into procedural and situational types. Physical simulations. Users manipulate objects or phenomena represented on the screen. For example, students see selections of chemicals with instructions to combine them to see the result, or they may see how various electrical circuits operate.

Extractions: The Basic Camp Small Classes, one-on-one tunnel flight. We have found that the most potent way to evaluate and teach skills in the wind tunnel is to keep the class sizes really small and to keep the student to instructor ratio low. In this, total immersion course, each student will work one-on-one with an Airspeed instructor during their entire time in the Wind Tunnel. This is a more expensive way to teach but each student gets much more learning accomplished in a short amount of time. The Airspeed Tunnel Camp will be comprised of focused, hands on, one-on-one training in the SkyVenture wind tunnel. It will include detailed video debrief and classroom instruction. The instructors will all be members of Arizona Airspeed. Classes will be small - no more than 18 students. The Details The standard course will be spread over three days at the SkyVenture wind tunnel in in Orlando Florida. Each class will be taught by 4 - 6 Arizona Airspeed Coaches The student to instructor ration will be held to 3 to 1. Each student will receive 1 hour of flight time (reduced only by the small amount of time it takes to get in and out of the wind tunnel). During every second of that time, you will work one-on-on with an Airspeed coach.
MILITARY STUDIES is used for constructing model rockets and flight simulation. This course is designedto teach advanced military Plan and organize cadet corps activities. http://pshs.wood.k12.wv.us/handbook/MILITARY STUDIES.htm
Extractions: MILITARY STUDIES The Aerospace Science Program is divided into two segments: academics and leadership training. During academics, cadets study such subjects as aviation history, space travel, theories of flight, navigation, and survival. The leadership portion is directed toward cadet organization, wear of uniform, drill and ceremonies, military customs and courtesies, personal grooming, hygiene, and self-discipline. Cadet activities, both in the classroom and in the field, are structured to help the cadet develop self-confidence, self-reliance, and a strong sense of personal ethics, honor, and integrity. Cadets, male and female, are afforded the opportunity to become cadet officers and non-commissioned officers in the cadet group, based on demonstrated academic and leadership skills. As cadets gain confidence and experience, they become more able to function independently in thought and action. Cadets in aerospace classes are required to maintain prescribed standards of Air Force dress, including a military-style hair cut. A complete uniform is provided to each cadet and is worn to school one full day each week.

Extractions: Robert Chatham Chief, Specialized Curriculum Defense Language Institute English Language Center 2230 Andrews Avenue Lackland AFB, TX 78236-5203 RESTRUCTURING AN ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (ESP) AVIATION CURRICULUM: A WORK IN PROGRESS ABSTRACT BACKGROUND In the summer of 1997, DLIELC faced the reality of the situation and resolved to attack the problem. We began to recognize that focusing upon extreme aircraft detail was not the direction that should logically be taken. A solid foundation in general language and broad-use technical language was better. Also, our students arrived with a variety of language proficiency levels and needs. Some were coming in with high content knowledge but low language proficiency, while others were appearing with high proficiency and moderate-to-low content knowledge, plus permutations in between. A curriculum that was flexible enough to meet the variety of students needs was definitely in order. A DIFFERENT APPROACH Using Stoller and Grabes (1995) approach as the primary reference for the organization of the aviation curriculum, a structure was devised to provide flexibility to a diverse student population; to refocus priorities so they would more closely parallel those of the follow-on training; to integrate more listening and speaking materials into the curriculum; and to capture a more meaningful assessment of students language performance. This new structure came to be called the "ANC" course, for Aviate (English Language Skills for Aviation), Navigate (English Language Skills for Navigation), and Communicate (English Language Skills for Communication). Each of these three major themes will be two weeks long. They will be preceded by a one-week orientation and followed by a two-week evaluation period. Each class week will consist of approximately 28 hours of classroom instruction and 10 hours of homework.

Can Neurobiology Teach Us Anything About Consciousness? funny to you, but let me teach the background identification of conscious states withbrain activities is unsound to the brain as the flight simulation bears to http://cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Papers/Py104/church.neuro.html
Extractions: Salk Institute Human nervous systems display an impressive roster of complex capacities, including the following: perceiving, learning and remembering, planning, deciding, performing actions, as well as the capacities to be awake, fall asleep, dream, pay attention, and be aware. Although neuroscience has advanced spectacularly in this century, we still do not understand in satisfying detail how any capacity in the list emerges from networks of neurons. We do not completely understand how humans can be conscious, but neither do we understand how they can walk, run, climb trees or pole vault. Nor, when one stands back from it all, is awareness intrinsically more mysterious than motor control. Balanced against the disappointment that full understanding eludes us still, is cautious optimism, based chiefly on the nature of the progress behind us. For cognitive neuroscience has already passed well beyond what skeptical philosophers once considered possible, and continuing progress seems likely. In assuming that neuroscience can reveal the physical mechanisms subserving psychological functions, I am assuming that it is indeed the brain that performs those functions that capacities of the humans mind are in fact capacities of the human brain. This assumption and its corollary rejection of Cartesian souls or spirits or "spooky stuff" existing separately from the brain is no whimsy. On the contrary, it is a highly probable hypothesis, based on evidence currently available from physics, chemistry, neuroscience and evolutionary biology. In saying that physicalism is an hypothesis, I mean to emphasize its status as an empirical matter. I do not assume that it is a question of conceptual analysis, a priori insight, or religious faith, though I appreciate that not all philosophers are at one with me on this point.
