Purpose of Today's Workshop
Today's workshop will serve as an introduction to various unique and compelling Internet resources, particularly in the areas of science and mathematics. Participants will learn how to get in touch with on-line experts, how to subscribe to a listserv, how to find and develop Internet-based collaborative projects, and how to find keypals. Additionally, participants will see examples of on-line student-published work and examples of real time data.Consulting Experts in the Field
One simple way to incorporate the Internet into classroom lessons is to utilize experts in appropriate fields to answer your students' toughest questions.
