Check out a summary of current URLs listed in all Bookmarks + listings.
This section of sciencelines will share information about
on-line resources including dial in, telnet sites and WWW sites.
We'll also include information about projects in which you and
your students may want to participate. If you locate some outstanding
sites you wish to share, please contact the Teacher Resource Center.
If you do not currently have access to the Internet, you do have
options. Come use the NCREL Demonstration Site computers in the
Teacher Resource Center. You may want to attend the Internet Awareness
Science Adventure.
sciencelines is now on the Web at: http://www-ed.fnal.gov/trc/sciencelines_online/
sciencelines.html. The "Bookmarks +" section allows
links to the resources noted. Additional links within articles
may also be included. This allows sciencelines to be read by many
more people. As the publication changes format, it is felt that
it changes mission somewhat too. We will be adding a feedback
form that we hope will allow readers to give us a better idea
of how sciencelines online may become even more useful to our
readers.
Scholastic Internet Center Ultimate Learning Libraries includes
a Middle School Science Library Gopher and an Integrating Technology
Library. While this is not a very fancy site, the content is very
useful with many of the articles and activites taken from the
popular Scholastic publications e.g. Electronic Learning, Super
Science Red, Science World, Instructor, etc. See the Integrating
Technology Library section for Lesson Plans for using the Internet,
Teaching with Technology and Technology Plan Resources. Connect
to the "Learning Libraries" at:

from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagin, Illinois.
This site has a database for lessons in mathematics using the
Internet. A listing of listservs for teaching and education related
topics is very useful. If students are using the Internet for
mathematics projects, they'll find the Online Data for Mathematics,
Science and Technology Education directory which contains links
of Internet locations to find real data in mathematics, science
and technology education. Connect at: http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/
