INTERNET NEUROSCIENCE RESOURCE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL

互联网，特别是万维网(WWW)，具有 将科学教育材料直接送到教室的潜力， 媒体中心、图书馆和家庭。当前的应用程序寻求 通过积极的合作努力使用这项新技术 科学家和一批中学理科教师共同发展， 传播和评估与神经科学有关的教育材料 在中学科学课上使用。这个项目试图 将新技术引入科学课堂，推广科学 教育包括信息高速公路和增加 父母对子女教育的参与。材料将是 与现有的中学科学课程和意志相结合 包括L)线上和线下实验和活动，涵盖 神经科学的主题范围，2)“虚拟神经科学实验室”， 3)一份网络神经科学资源列表和4)《神经科学家》 由世界各地活跃的神经科学家组成的网络 担任回答学生问题的专家。所有活动都将是 设计将注重自我节奏、动手能力、娱乐性和 让合作学习成为可能。数量和质量都有 将使用方法来评估互联网的使用情况 神经科学资源。希望这一项目将成为 给其他科学家和教师树立榜样，并鼓励他们 在自己的专业领域开发互联网资源，用于 教室里。

The Internet, specifically the World Wide Web (WWW), has the potential to deliver science education materials directly to classrooms, media centers, libraries and homes. The current application seeks to use this new technology through a collaborative effort of an active scientist and a group of middle school science teachers to develop, disseminate and evaluate educational materials related to neuroscience for use in middle school science classes. This project attempts to introduce new technologies into the science classroom, extend science education to include the information superhighway and increase parental involvement in their children's education. Materials will be integrated with the existing middle school science curriculum and will include l) on-line and off-line experiments and activities covering a range of topics in neuroscience, 2) a "virtal neuroscience laboratory", 3) an Internet neuroscience resource list and 4) a "Neuroscientist Network" consisting of active neuroscientists around the world who will serve as experts answering student questions. All activities will be designed will attention to being self-paced, hands-on, entertaining and to involve Cooperative learning. Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to evaluate the usage of the Intemet Neuroscience Resource. It is hoped that this project will serve as a model to other scientists and teachers and to encourage them to develop Internet resources in their own areas of expertise for use in the classroom.
