The materials necessary to implement an
Internet-based project may include traditional materials used for
special projects and lessons like poster paper and magic markers but these
projects may also require materials not typically used in traditional
projects. Teachers need to consider whether special equipment will be
needed to carry out experiments and whether computer material like disks
will be necessary to transfer information. If items need to be specially
ordered, this must be done well enough in advance so as not to impact on
the project start date.

| Example
|
A teacher is interested in participating in the Global
Water Sampling Project because water studies are part of the school's
environmental science curriculum. However, first the teacher must see if there
are any equipment requirements or cost limitations. The teacher reviews
recommended equipment lists
(if provided) and identifies a list of materials necessary to participate in the
project. If equipment must be purchased, the teacher ensures that there will be
time and money for this before committing to do the project.
