Seeking a diverse group of ten PK-12 teachers, representing a variety of grades and subjects taught, to develop collaboratively month-long courses that they would plan to implement in their classrooms during the 1999-2000 academic year.  These courses would focus on a curricular topic that would be enriched through the integration of at least 100 links to websites woven into the course’s narrative and activities for learning.  This project will examine the factors influencing the effectiveness of curriculum supported by web-based resources.

 Qualifications:  experience teaching in a PK-12 school, coursework in curriculum development.  Willingness to develop in webpage development.

 Participants will receive a stipend of $300.  They may either work on their own with collaboration with the project director via email or attend workshops during July 1999 at ECSU.  They may also earn graduate credit for their participation by enrolling in an oncampus or online educational technology workshop.
