EASI Webcast interview with Robert Gotwals describing his NSF grant program:
SUCCEED-HI: Stimulating Understanding of Computational Science through
Collaboration, Exploration, Experiment and Discovery for Hearing -Impaired
students.  This is the kick-off of a month-long emphasis on NSF projects on
the web at http://easi.cc

** Note the webcast is transcribed.

The grant abstract states:
Students with hearing impairments and their teachers are in significant
danger of being left behind with regard to technology innovations,
especially in the rapidly emerging area of computational science (computer
modeling and simulation). The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. with the
                           University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) Education of Deaf
Children program, The Central North Carolina School for the Deaf (CNCSD),
Interpreters, Inc., and the National Technical Institute of the Deaf
(NTID), proposes a demonstration project entitled "Project SUCCEED-HI:
Stimulating Understanding of Computational Science through Collaboration,
Exploration, Experiment and Discovery for Students with Hearing
Impairments." SUCCEED-HI builds on the success of an existing Shodor
SUCCEED program to introduce middle and high school students to the
technologies, techniques, and tools of computational science. The goal of
this project is to develop quality materials - case studies,
enhancement/enrichment activities, supplemental labs, projects for
independent group research, science fair ideas, summer camp activities --
that all include one or more of the computational components. These
materials will enable teachers to integrate computational science into the
instructional programs of students with hearing impairments.

Robert brings an interesting and diverse background to the grant and to
this interview.
