Welcome to NCSA REVITALISE RE-VISITED 2006 WORKSHOP - An Introduction to System Dynamics and Agent Modeling!
The workshop will show modeling and visualization resources and tools that are available and accessible and how these can be included as pedagogical resources. The hope is that you will see ways to apply modeling and visualization tools in the curriculum from introductory to advanced courses and across disciplines. The workshop is not about how to program computers for modeling.
 COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE TOOLS |
|
|
Tools include interactive numerical simulations, scientific visualizations, computer-assisted algebra systems, and data mining. Learn how these approaches can model phenomena that are
- too small (atoms and molecules),
- too large (galaxies and the universe),
- too fast (photosynthesis),
- too slow (geological processes),
- too complex (automobile engines), or
- too dangerous (toxic materials) to be studied in undergraduate laboratories.

|
| MODELING IN THE CLASSROOM |
|
|
Demonstrated will be free interactive tools and simulations that enable and encourage exploration and discovery through observation, conjecture, and modeling activities. Attendees will learn how modeling can be both a motivator and an enabler of evidence-based reasoning across the curriculum resulting in an enhanced learning environment. The focus is on how using modeling in the classroom transforms what you teach and how you teach.
The materials will be easily accessible and ready to use in your classroom.
