Goals

1. to help students learn about scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and concepts in biology and earth science
2. to foster collaborations between teachers, researchers, and scientists involving the use of technology in teaching and the development of web-based curriculum
3. to develop new digital curriculum projects about simple organisms, physiology, and plate tectonics making use of video and other web technologies; projects will need to be linguistically and conceptually appropriate
4. to better understand how university-school collaborations around curriculum-building can be facilitated, including how aspects of scientific research being performed on the UC campus can be conveyed in an educational form on the Web
5. to help teachers disseminate the developed curriculum projects and lessons learned about the use of technology in the classroom through video journals, web pages, and presentations
