In October, 1997, Volusia County Schools received a United States Department of Education
"Career Connection to Teaching with
Technology" Innovation Challenge Grant. Mainland High School, in Daytona Beach, Florida, is serving as the co-ordinating
hubsite for this 5-year grant. As part of the grant, Mainland's physics students
have had the unique opportunity of participating in the development and implementation of
a web-based physics program.
Beginning with the very first day of school three years
ago, the daily routine for Mainland's physics students starts by sitting down in front of
one of the fourteen computer-lab stations in the physics lab to reference the "daily
agenda" for their class. |
