....a learner needs a set of instructions for using it as well as a description of the principles that the model illustrates. Moreover, ideal curricular support would consist of tools that empower teachers to locate relevant sites, adapt, and organize retrieved materials to their classrooms [11] (see Stahl, Owen and Sumner in this issue) Using the design environments can prompt a desire for more information, as was illustrated in the EcoOcean example. Pointers to related information available on the WWW, in this case about radar systems, music or sound in general, assist the learning ....

....[2] Such systems may be appropriate for helping learners gain proficiency and automaticity in skills such as multiplication tables but are inappropriate if the educational aims include teaching independent problem solving skills. Other educational systems are broadly based on constructivism [24, 26, 33]. These systems assume learning is the result of active participation on the part of the learner in settings which resemble the settings where the skill will later be used [27] The LOGO language is perhaps the most well known constructionist system for teaching mathematics. According to Papert, ....

.... Community s Knowledge Products When interacting with a scholarly archive, or any repository, users engage in a cognitive cycle where they must first locate resources, comprehend the resources content, and decide whether the resource is relevant to their task at hand (Fischer and Stevens 1991; Stahl, Sumner et al. 1995). Locating resources is notoriously difficult; searching by keywords is brittle and people rarely use the same keywords to describe resources (Furnas, Landauer et al. 1987) In the areas of web information systems and digital libraries, much work has been focused on improving resource location, ....

....and developing interactive learning simulations of scientific phenomena. Our experience testing RE in schools is that efforts to use these simulations are largely futile without appropriate integration into curricula and without providing teacher support. The Teacher s Curriculum Assistant (TCA) [25] addresses this shortcoming by helping teachers and learners locate, use, adapt, and share lesson plans that illustrate how systems such as RE or KidSim [23] can be used in classroom settings. For innovative forms of collaborative education to achieve widespread use, dissemination mechanisms are ....
....are underway to extend RE to support participants in posting changes to existing exhibits and even adding entirely new exhibits. Currently, contributors must contact the Exploratorium curator via email. 4. Teacher s Curriculum Assistant: Tools for Teachers The Teacher s Curriculum Assistant [25] is a design environment to support the curriculum development needs of classroom teachers. It accesses a special TCA curriculum repository on the Internet that points to educational resources such as RE and other learning resources available over the Internet. The design of TCA supports ....
