  • Brief Description

        Students write reports of their research findings to be shared with friends and families. Students should draw on the criteria developed during their initial explorations to guide the format of their reports. Students develop their reports into web pages for publication on the Internet. The students' web pages are assembled into a virtual museum. Up to Contents of this

    Materials and Resources Needed

         In developing our lessons and activities, we made some assumptions about the hardware and software that would be available in the classroom for teachers who visit the LETSNet website. We assume that teachers using our Internet-based lessons or activities have a computer (PC or Macintosh) with the necessary hardware components (mouse, keyboard, and monitor) as well as software (operating system, TCP/IP software, networking or dial-up software, e-mail and a World Wide Web client program, preferably Netscape, but perhaps Mosaic or Lynx). In the section below, we specify any "special" hardware or software requirements for a lesson or activity - over and above those described above - as well as our sense of the Internet access required to do the activity.

    1. Special hardware requirements: Access to a Web server on which to place the students' reports. Access to a scanner for digitizing images that students collect for their pages.
    2. Special software requirements: An html editor and/or word processing software with html extensions.
    3. Internet access: Internet access and access to a server to store students' web pages.
