Inner World Discovery (Higher Ed; Nursing Students, Pre-Sevice Teachers)

Designed by St. Joseph's Medical Center emergency room doctor Phillip Silverstein, the “Inner World Discovery” program is a multimedia journey through the human body. With Dr. Silverstein as their guide, nursing/pre-med students and/or pre-service science teachers participating in this session will experience the wonder, intricacies and elegance of the human body’s immune system. This interactive videoconference presentation will make the complexities of understanding the immune system accessible to students and will make real the devastating effects of HIV. An interactive question and answer session with Dr. Silverstein will address how the information seen during this presentation will be relevant in a students’ future career, or how to use this material to make biology education more accessible to students.

Virtual Grant Workshop Series (Higher Ed/Public & Cultural, K12)
Dates TBD

Last year, MAGPI hosted a joint interactive videoconference workshop with NEH to help MAGPI members explore the new digital humanities initiative. The event was so popular, that MAGPI will partner with various funding organizations over the 2007-2008 academic year to offer similar programs. This workshop series will be conducted entirely via H.323 videoconferencing and will be limited to a select number of sites. In addition to those who are interested in learning more about specific grant opportunities, we encourage those who have developed or partially developed projects to bring their ideas and questions to this two-hour session. More information will be available soon!
