STREAMS

Curriculum Design: STREAMS

URL: http://streams.indiana.edu

Context	The STREAMS (Students and Teachers Researching Ecology and the Making of Science) project is a collaborative effort between the Center for Research on Learning and Technology at Indiana University, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and Hoosier River Watch. This project enables students and teachers to share their water ecology research experiences via a collaborative online environment. By participating in STREAMS, a class becomes a part of a growing online community that is centered around exploring ecology and sharing the "Making of Science."
Conditions	This project is intended to help teachers support their students in doing water quality investigations. To date only a few teachers, who are currently providing feedback concerning the site, have been provided access to the website.
Scope	This project is currently in its prototype phase and only a few teachers have began to investigate how the site can be leveraged to support their students in sharing their water quality investigations.
Role	My primary role was in helping to conceptualize the website. I also made connections with in-service teachers from around the state and visited their classrooms to support them with their water quality investigations and to help them with whatever other needs or concerns they had about streams or how to do water quality investigations.
