New Tech Squad


Computer Learning Centers The company has a strong interest in supporting the education of Puerto Rico in the use of technology. That's why during the summer of 2010, New Tech Squad team will be designing a pilot project which was named PLANET GUARDIANS by our boss and company president Alexis Torres.

PLANETS GUARDIANS Project will enable students to study watersheds near their homes or schools. That they understand what happens to the flow of water over them, the way in which human activities depend on the watershed and its hydrological impact and how the change in land use can affect communities of plants and animals that live along it.

Designed projects with teachers in mind

The New Tech Squad team continuously innovating and looking for the latest in technology to support education in Puerto Rico. With great force and passion continue to design projects that encourage the student to continue their studies and learn early on what areas are of interest for your future. We are currently in the process of project design. For sampling use the company's products Vernier: LabQuest and Logger Pro This sensor technology that helps us collect and analyze data is very quick, precise and effective.

Project Description

GUARDIANS PLANET The multidisciplinary project, will enable students to explore their own watershed and understand what happens to the flow of water over them, the way in which human activities depend on the watershed and its hydrological impact and the way in which the change of land use can affect plant and animal communities that live along it. This project aims at developing technology skills in applications such as Logger Pro and Vernier LabQuest sowtware, GIS, Google Earth or Arc Explorer, Adobe Premier and Thinkquest.org or Blogger. This technology will enable students to investigate, analyze, manipulate and interpret data. It involves students from intermediate level and above. During the development of the students will engage in tasks and sub-tasks to complete highlights the following products:


In Science, Mathematics and Technology - Scientific Article (Journal) - Vernier Logger Pro-LabQuest and MS Publisher 2007 - 4 weeks.
In English (Spanish), and Technology - Video Documentary - Adobe Premier - 3 weeks.
In Geography and Technology - GeoMapping - ArcView or ArcExplorer and Google Earth-2 weeks
In English (Spanish), and Technology - Blog - Google Apps or Thinkquest.org-2 weeks.


Vernier technology to be used in the project for taking action.


PLANET GUARDIANS project is a multi-application project where students have the opportunity to do research on water quality of various parts of Rio Piedras and Rio Guynabo. To perform these investigations will be using technologies such as:

GPS location to collect samples.

Vernier technology to take water quality measurements:
-Transparency
-Conductivity
-Alkalinity
-PH
-Temperature
-Dissolved Oxygen
-ion Concentration Nitrate


GIS to create digital maps for geospatial analysis. Other applications that are evaluating that serve this purpose are: ArcView, ArcExplorer, Google Earth or Globe.gov.
