teachers and students to participate in more advanced collaborative design
activities.
- Biodynamic Farming
(http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/aquaponics/index.html )
In this telecollaborative project, students in grades 9 - 12 will study and work with
appropriate and organic technologies that support sustainable food resources
which are necessary to combat current global food shortages. Students will
research biodynamic farming systems, conduct investigations, and engage in a
series of design challenges. Ultimately, students around the world will
collaborate to design an aquaponics system that sustains plant and animal life. - Musical Plates

)
Musical Plates is an Internet-based multidisciplinary project which will enrich a
student's learning experience through "Unique and Compelling" applications of
instructional technology. In particular, this project taps into some of the exciting
applications of the Internet in education by having students access real time
earthquake data, interact with experts online, and publish their own work to the
project web site.
