Welcome!

 

The Information Technology Academy for Teachers (ITAT) is composed of select teams of mathematic teachers, science teachers, and guidance counselors who participate in a two-week non-residential summer program. 

 

The purpose is to broaden teachers’ perspectives on IT tools in biomechanics, robotics, solid modeling, Excel, and leadership.  The program also provides experiences that help develop inquiry-based science and mathematics lessons that stimulate students’ interests in science, engineering, and technology.

Special Activities

 

Teachers will also go on a special field trips, which will change the usual routine.

  • da Vinci Heart Surgery
    da Vinci is a $1.5 million dollar surgical system used to aid physicians during heart surgery.  Students will have the opportunity to visit Pitt Memorial Hospital to view a live heart surgery via robotic technology in a separate room. 

 

Living Arrangements

 

Prior to attendance teachers will be given the option to commute or stay in Greenville, NC.  Look for more information to be communicated directly to your administrator. 

  

Dining Facilities

 

Teachers will be given meal cards for breakfast and lunch which will enable them to eat all their meals in ECU dining facilities.  More specific information will post in late spring.

  

Transportation

 

Teachers will need to make their own arrangements to arrive and depart from the academy. Parking passes will be mailed to participants prior to the start of the academy.  Once at ECU, however, they will have access to ECU Transit buses when going far distances on campus or on field trips. At other times, they will walk to class and activities.

 

What to Bring

 

Teachers will be provided with a thumb drive, notebook and necessary curriculum.  Any additional materials should be brought by the participant.
