29. Human Embryo Development • 3-D visualizations of human embryo development • Doctors can manipulate data remotely • Animations of embryo system development for students George Mason University, Oregon Health & Science University, National Library of Medicine http://www.nac.gmu.edu/visembryo.htm http://www.ohsu.edu/chrc/

30. Renal Physiology Modules • Overcomes the limits of one-dimensional mediums to represent dynamic systems of the body. • The modules allow students to integrate and apply their knowledge to real-life problems Stanford University Virtual Labs Project http://summit.stanford.edu/hhmi

31. Anatomy and Surgery Workbench and Local NGI Testbed Network • Allows students to learn anatomy and practice surgery techniques using 3-D workstations • Network testbed evaluates the effectiveness of workbench applications Stanford University School of Medicine http://haiti.stanford.edu/~ngi/final/

Realistic, Life-Sized, 3D Tele-Immersion • Brings together geographically distant participants and shared virtual objects • Tele-immersive recreation of office environment Advanced Network & Services, Brown University, University of North Carolina, University of Pennsylvania http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/stc/office/

34. White House Decision Center In a physical facility modeled after the West Wing of the White House, student groups assemble and meet in eight identical meetings rooms to work through a role-playing module based on Truman-era historical events.

35. White House Decision Center • This curriculum includes four pre-visit and one post-visit classroom modules, extensive materials and teacher training. Teachers select one of the following scenarios for the class: • How to react to the North Korean invasion of South Korea in June 1950 • How to respond to the 1948 Soviet Blockade of Berlin • How to address post-WWII civil rights and desegregation of the military

36. White House Decision Center The day culminates in a press conference where the decision reached by the student president is announced. Students now play the media and question the president’s decision.

37. White House Decision Center: A Virtual Experience • H.323 • Synchronous chat • Virtual reality • Asynchronous group activities • Online digital content

38. Possible Education Applications over Internet2….. • Language students talk to counterparts in a foreign country • Music students coached by master teachers from a distant site • Virtual field trips to museums • Advanced Placement courses offered by college faculty

39. Possible Education Applications over Internet 2… • Students operating microscopes, telescopes, submersibles from their classrooms • Interactive discussions with astronauts on the International Space Station • Access to extensive archives of environmental, social & other science data

40. Possible Education Applications over Internet2… • Collaboration with student partners located across the nation • Revisit the Lewis and Clark Expedition • Visit the Harry S. Truman Library – virtually • And many, many more ideas…. It’s up to you!
