Improving High School Chemistry: An Electronic Bulletin Board for Teachers in the Northwest

华盛顿州立大学的一个电子网络将连接西北地区的高中化学教师，这是该项目的重点。具体功能包括一个公告牌，它将传播关于会议、研讨会、会议、出版物、安全信息等的信息，以及一个会议功能，网络成员可以通过它讨论公告牌项目，交流想法，并促进活动，如每月的演示。该网络将被设计为一个广域网络，可以接触到与世隔绝和准备不足的教师，并将有能力连接到一个更大的电子网络，如NSFnet，以便今后将教师与该地区以外的科学家和教师联网。

An electronic network based at Washington State University which will link high school chemistry teachers in the Northwest is the focus of this project. Specific features include a Bulletin Board which will disseminate information on meetings, workshops, conferences, publications, safety information, etc., and a conferencing capability through which network members can discuss bulletin board items, exchange ideas, and promote activities such as a Demonstration of the Month. The network will be designed as a Wide Area Network reaching isolated and underprepared teachers, and will have the capability of itself being linked to a larger electronic network such as NSFNet for future networking of the teachers with scientists and teachers outside the region.
