Description:

CCCnet is an education web site that provides several thematic projects for students - including virtual field trips, online student-published newspapers and a collaborative timeline. For educators, there are lesson plans (http://www.edscape.com/preview) to help integrate these projects into the classroom, and a teacher forum area, hosted by Simon & Schuster, called Ed Buzz (http://www.CCCnet.com/travel/invox), which asks kids their opinions and teaches media literacy. It also gives teachers an overview of how they can use the Internet as an educational tool. Access to lesson plans, InVox, and the teacher forum area is free (but the discussion area requires registration). The student projects are subscription based.

Edscape (http://www.edscape.com) is an online educational resource for K-12 teachers and students created by Simon & Schuster. Edscape incorporates the Internet in the classroom, along with textbooks and other curriculum materials. The site offers student projects for multiple disciplines, ranging K-12. The student projects use the interactive capabilities of the Internet, including research, collaboration and publishing. The site also hosts a teacher forum area and will publish a professional development area in the fall of 1997.
