classroom use by December 1, 1998.
2.    The newly created WWW-based curriculum must be usable by the school
district of the initial team leader (year one participant).
3.    Curriculum for the U S WEST project should be the following type of
WWW-based curriculum:		 
a. Develop a class lesson/unit on-line similar to CAI (computer-aided-
instruction) in that students read lesson information on line.  The site may 
include a few links to other pertinent WWW sites. On-line lessons would 
include assignments, worksheets or projects for the student to complete, 
mostly on line. The WWW site would be composed mainly of text and simple

curriculum developed for the U S WEST project:
- Have students e-mail class assignments to the teacher.

of visuals, audio or video clips to enhance the lesson/unit.

be used for the U S WEST project.

- Compile a list of class/lesson related WWW sites and create links to all the sites.

WWW site for access by students.

-Students simply read and may (or may not) print the materials.
- Have students use desktop video conferencing (ie.; C-U See Me) for discussion
about lesson/unit subjects.
- Have students create materials (reports, stories, projects, etc) to put on
a WWW site.
- Participate in projects that are on WWW sites by other (educational)
institutions/entities and submit your class answers to that site
analysis/assimilation. (ex: El Nino effects in all states)

            - at least 5 links to outside sources within the site.
