The research project continues a collaboration between MIT's Center for Educational Computing Initiatives and TERC focusing on the enhancement of K-12 STEM math and science education by means of technology that supports (1) creation of what are termed "ink inscriptions"--handwritten sketches, graphs, maps, notes, etc. made on a computer using a pen-based interface, and (2) in-class communication of ink inscriptions via a set of connected wireless tablet computers. The project builds on the PIs' prior work, which demonstrated that both teachers and students benefit from such technology because they can easily draw and write on a tablet screens, thus using representations not possible with only a typical keyboard and mouse; and they can easily send such ink inscriptions to one another via wireless connectivity. This communication provides teachers the opportunity to view all the students' work and make decisions about which to share anonymously on a public classroom screen or on every student's screen in order to support discussion in a "conversation-based" classroom. Artificial intelligence methods are used to analyze ink inscriptions in order to facilitate selection and discussion of student work.The project is a series of design experiments beginning with the software that emerged from earlier exploratory work. The PIs conduct two cycles of experiments to examine how tablets affect students learning in 4th and 5th grade mathematics and science. The project research questions and methods focus on systematic monitoring of teachers' and students' responses to the innovation in order to inform the development process. The PIs collect data on teachers' and students' use of the technology and on student learning outcomes and use those data as empirical evidence about the promise of the technology for improving STEM education in K-12 schools. An external evaluator uses parallel data collection, conducting many of the same research activities as the core team and independently providing analysis to be correlated with other data. His involvement is continuous and provides formative evaluation reports to the project through conferences, site visits, and conference calls. The primary products are substantiated research findings on the use of tablet computers, inscriptions, and networks in 4th and 5 grade classrooms. In addition the PIs develop models for teacher education and use, and demonstrate the utility of artificial intelligence techniques in facilitating use of the technology. With the addition of Malden Public Schools to the list of participating districts, which includes Cambridge Public Schools and Waltham Public Schools from earlier work, the project expands the field test sites to up 20 schools' classrooms.

The research project continues a collaboration between MIT's Center for Educational Computing Initiatives and TERC focusing on the enhancement of K-12 STEM math and science education by means of technology that supports (1) creation of what are termed "ink inscriptions"--handwritten sketches, graphs, maps, notes, etc. made on a computer using a pen-based interface, and (2) in-class communication of ink inscriptions via a set of connected wireless tablet computers.该项目建立在PIS的先前工作的基础上，这表明教师和学生都从这种技术中受益，因为他们可以在平板电脑屏幕上轻松绘制和写入，因此仅使用典型的键盘和鼠标不可能使用表示形式；他们可以通过无线连接轻松地将这种墨水铭文互相发送。这种沟通使教师有机会查看所有学生的工作，并做出决定在公共课堂屏幕或每个学生的屏幕上匿名分享的决定，以支持在“基于对话”的课堂上的讨论。 人工智能方法用于分析墨水铭文，以促进学生工作的选择和讨论。该项目是一系列设计实验，始于早期探索性工作的软件。 PI进行了两个实验周期，以检查平板电脑如何影响学生在4年级和五年级的数学和科学中的学习。 项目研究问题和方法着重于对教师和学生对创新的反应的系统监测，以便为发展过程提供信息。 PI收集了有关教师和学生对技术和学生学习成果的使用的数据，并将这些数据用作有关该技术改善K-12学校S​​TEM教育的承诺的经验证据。 外部评估者使用并行数据收集，进行了许多与核心团队相同的研究活动，并独立提供分析以与其他数据相关。 他的参与是连续的，并通过会议，现场访问和电话会议向项目提供了形成性评估报告。 主要产品是关于在4年级和5年级教室中使用平板电脑，铭文和网络的实质性研究结果。 此外，PI开发了教师教育和使用的模型，并展示了人工智能技术在促进技术使用方面的实用性。 随着玛尔登公立学校（Malden Public Sc​​hools）在参与地区的名单中加入，其中包括剑桥公立学校和沃尔瑟姆公立学校（Waltham Public Sc​​hools）的早期工作，该项目将现场测试地点扩展到了20个学校的教室。
