Jim Askew's Internet Science Room

             
            In 1995 Superintendent Steve Shiever challenged his science teacher to find a way for students to use computers every day in the classroom.

            Meeting that challenge required this traditional teacher to experience a paradigm shift.

            The curriculum was published on the Internet in August of 1996 as The Internet Science Room, consisting of an outline of topics for each class.

            Between 1996 and 2006, the outlines were expanded into a Web-Based Curriculum, complete with supplementary materials for physical science, biology, chemistry, botany, zoology, and human anatomy.

            In 2007, curriculum pages were optimized to function equally well on regular computer screens and the 3.5 inch touch screens of hand-held devices. This was the FINAL update to The Internet Science Room. External links have NOT been varified since that time.

            In 2008, the focus turned to the Tiger Chemistry curriculum and staff development for Web-Based Instruction.

            Teachers have always been given fair use rights to The Internet Science Room curriculum for use in their classrooms.

            This person is clearly violating fair use.
            This person is probably violating fair use.
            This teacher is NOT violating fair use.

            A Web-Based Curriculum is a living document. It never becomes a completed project.
