Description of planned session
As a current science and technology educator, the presenter is always interested in helping students make real-world connections in project-based curriculum. The method described in this demonstration is a synthesis of a personal process of discovery, teaching, and learning that has come from practical experience with teachers and students. The presenter will demonstrate an instructional approach that focuses on five basic phases: planning, research, development, refinement, and implementation. These five Phases of Curriculum Development for the Internet may be useful in helping educators facilitate this process of integrating computer technology and the Internet into classroom instruction and curriculum design.
