Training Teachers to Publish and Use Curricular Materials on the WEB

Abstract:

This presentation will describe a program that incorporates the Internet as a teaching and learning tool. During the first hour, the outline of GirlTECH '96, a program that the Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC) implemented in the Houston area, will be presented. The basics of the Internet as well as the process of using the Internet as a collaborative instructional tool in mathematics and science classes will be the focus. Lessons developed during GirlTECH will be reviewed. Teachers will explore the various curricular materials that were a product of GirlTECH, critique them, and actually work through the problems. They will be given the opportunity to develop their own ideas and encouraged to post the type of lesson that incorporates the use of the Internet as an integral application or research tool.
