Welcome to the NOAA-Pacific Services Center 2-D Alignment Database
prototype for aligning NOAA Science Content with Hawaii Benchmark Standards.
This project is component of a NOAA Contract awarded to Capital City Technical
Consulting, Inc. (Contract #AB133C09CN0257 to create a Strategic Positioning
Document for NOAA Education Products in the Pacific.) The Alignment
Database, built by Sub Contractor Ulua Media, LLC, will be used by Sub
Contractors (Certified Hawaii Science Teachers) to align an established set of
NOAA resources to Hawaii Benchmarks.
Once the alignment is completed the 2-D Database will be used to create a Web
Dissemination Strategy prototype pulling 3-D photo realistic data and matching
it up with aligned NOAA Science Material to reveal a 3-D world for teachers and
students to explore and use. For the purposes of this Contract, the 3-D element
will be tagged to 1 NOAA Science Element, which will test and prove the concept
and viability of delivering content in a 3-D world.
The purpose in proposing to create an Alignment tool for NOAA in the Pacific
is to more accurately engage teachers and students in using NOAA Science
Products and Services by linking the resources to the Hawaii State Benchmark
and National Science Standards. The prototype Alignment Tool will enable
NOAA to develop a process of tagging Science products and services as they
are produced. Once tagged, the Science material can then be pulled into a
3-D world to more graphically and realistically illustrate the material/concept.
Teachers and students will be more fully engaged with NOAA Science Products
and Services if the materials they wish to use are mapped directly to the
Benchmark Standards.
