[EAN: 9781555702397], New book, [SC: 0.0], [PU: Neal-Schuman Publishers Inc, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. A collection of actual, successful examples of Internet programs used on a daily basis in elementary, middle and high schools from across the United States. They provide ideas for teaching mathematics, science, history, literature, music and more. This volume features examples such as: a French class in which students are exploring French periodicals on the Net and then downloading them to practice language skills; an earth science class in which students look at daily weather data from a Gopher server, use the data to draw a map of the US and invent a forecast for the next day, and then return to the Net to check their predictions; and a biology class where students search for information on genetics, create Gopher bookmarks for files that looked promising as research tools, load them into a Macintosh lab for the rest of their classmates to access, and then use them as the basis for classroom debates on the merits of genetic engineering. Each description of the program contains an overview of goals, results from all the projects, and budget, technical and curricular information. The editors also provide a general survey of educational applications on the Net, a discussion of its future educational projects and a listing of the most useful sites for curriculum integration., Books<
