Project Description
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
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.
Project participants will be expected to design a curricular unit for a month of instruction that will make use of the WWW for resources and for structure. The project director will share this unit with the project participants and other educators by posting the unit on the WWW. Please link to http://www.easternct.edu/depts/edu/units.html for examples of units developed during 1999-2000.
Participants will be expected to complete a report on how this curricular unit was integrated into their educational setting. They will also be expected to describe their assessment of the applications of this curricular unit, including student achievement and reactions to the unit.
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. The participants will work in collaboration with the
project director via email. They
may also earn graduate credit for their participation by enrolling in an
oncampus or online educational technology workshop.
