Investigating Internet2: A New Channel for Science Education

这个概念验证项目提供了一个测试，使用Internet 2作为专业发展的基础设施。 目标是开发和测试将通过因特网提供的专业发展原型资源2。 该项目利用STC、FOSS和Insights课程材料作为其内容框架，支持中学一级基于探究的科学实践。 第二代互联网的使用使人们能够高质量地获取教育资源，其中可能包括大型数据集、实时视频互动和高清晰度视频点播。这些功能非常适合支持基于探究的课堂实践。

This proof-of-concept project provides a test of the use of Internet2 as an infrastructure for professional development. The goal is to develop and test prototype resources for professional development that will be delivered through the Internet2. The project supports inquiry-based science practice at the middle school level using STC, FOSS and Insights curricular materials as its content framework. The use of Internet2 enables high quality access to educational resources, which may include large data sets, real-time video interactivity and high definition video on demand. These capabilities are well-suited for supporting inquiry-based classroom practices.
