The Internet Workshop
The Instructional Model:
Developmentally Sequenced
Modified by NASA Quest.
Below is an overview of how the Internet Workshop
can help you become familiar with NASA Quest and the resources and
interactive features that are offered.
The model suggests four steps:
1.) LEARNING from Colleagues (continuous)
- Review archives of preveius NASA Quest activities
- Join the WON or STO "updates" mail list: lurking or participation
- Join the NASA Quest "discussion" list: lurking or participation
2.) Internet ACTIVITY with Internet Workshop
- Review the links to Female Frontiers, WON and STO resources.
- Assign the activity suggested to your students or develop an
activity requiring students to use the site resources.
- Assign the activity to be completed during the week.
- Have students share their work, questions, and new insights
during Internet Workshop.
- A place to start the Internet Workshop with your classroom
is by sharing something new you recently learned using the Internet
and invite others to respond.
- You may also want to share something you are still trying
to figure out and invite others to respond.
3.) Internet PROJECT with Internet Workshop
An Internet Project typically will involve many different types
of activities. Some activities will be Internet-based, others
will involved other types of activities. The project components
can be worked on by groups of students or by individuals.
A project will likely take several weeks of Internet Workshop
to complete.
There are two different ways to conduct a Female Frontiers related
project for the Internet Workshop:
- Complete the suggested project, using Internet Workshop as a
forum. Your class will complete the project using the suggested
outline.
--OR--
- Plan a project for an upcoming unit in your classroom and write
a project description:
- Summary
- Learning goals
- Expectations
- Timeline
4.) Internet INQUIRY with Internet Workshop
- Use Female Frontier, WON or STO resources to formulate a question.
- Search the related pages to develop the question and form a
hypothosis.
- Use the data collected to analyze new theories.
- Compose questions that can be answered by using NASA Quest interactive
events.
- Share the results with the classroom and/or others participating
online.
