Welcome to the Shiloh Project T.E.A.M.S website! Project TEAMS (Technology Enhancements
and Applications in Math and Science) is a collaborative project funded by the Illinois Board of Higher Education as part
of the Improving Teacher Quality Program. The grant was awarded to Eastern Illinois
University in partnership with Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville for
selected teams of dedicated and diligent math and science teachers from seventeen school districts in the state.
Through this project, the teacher teams are engaged in formal sessions that focus on the integration
of mathematics and science in their curriculum through student centered projects that incorporate the techniques of conducting
environmental monitoring, species identification, data presentations and analyses, digital library inclusions, and inquiry-based
investigations related to the inventories. Each team of teachers selects a habitat
to monitor with their students and utilizes the technologies of GPS, scientific probes,digital cameras for this program. The
concrete end product is the production of a web-based electronic field guide, their own web page and a series of scientifically
and mathematically based research investigations that can be accessed, referenced, and expanded by not only other students
but also scientists in Illinois and the local community. The Project Directors
are Dr. Marylin Lisowski and Dr. Robert Williams.
