Kids Network -- Leveraging Learning

小行星9553592 主要研究者建议设计，实地测试，评估，出版和销售新材料，以扩大NGS儿童网络系列中七个单元的范围。 Kids Network是一个基于知识的科学课程，允许4至6年级的学生在进行动手调查并在计算机网络上与学生分享数据和想法时学习科学内容和过程。 新产品将使用新材料补充每个现有装置，包括：（1）开放式的，以学生为中心的活动，（2）使用儿童网络软件和其他可用的，最新开发的技术的活动，（3）与儿童网络软件阅读或打印文本文件的软盘，（4）开放式的活动，扩展到数学，语言艺术，和社会研究，（5）流程图和表格，以帮助教师计划，并看到一个单位如何支持国家标准，和（6）真实的评估。 该项目将是三个合作伙伴的合作努力：TERC，国家地理学会（NGS）和网络。 TERC将负责补充材料的开发，网络将负责现场测试和评估，NGS将负责出版、营销和传播。

9553592 Vesel The principal investigator proposes to design, field test, evaluate, publish, and market new material to extend the scope of the seven units in the NGS Kids Network series for Elementary Grades. Kids Network is a telecommunications-based science curriculum that allows students in grades 4 through 6 to learn science content and process as they conduct hands-on investigations and share data and ideas with students on a computer network. The new product will supplement each of the extant units with new material that will include: (1) open-ended, student-centered activities, (2) activities for using the Kids Network software and other available, recently developed technology, (3) diskettes with text files to be read or printed with the Kids Network software, (4) open-ended activities that extend the program into mathematics, language arts, and social studies, (5) flowcharts and tables to help teachers plan and to see how a unit supports the national standards, and (6) authentic assessments. The project will be a collaborative effort of three partners: TERC, The National Geographic Society (NGS), and the NETWORK. TERC will be responsible for the development of the supplemental material, The NETWORK will be responsible for the field testing and evaluation, and NGS will be responsible for publication, marketing, and dissemination.
