| Media for Inquiry, Communication, Construction, and Expression | |  |  | Based on a taxonomy for technologies that Jim Levin and I developed, this talk starts with an analysis of Chickscope, a project in which students from pre-school through university ages studied embryology, genetics, economics, mathematics, chemistry, physics, agriculture, computer/network technology, and other topics through incubating and raising chickens in the classroom. They also used the Internet for remote access to magnetic resonance imaging so that they could see chicken embryos developing (hence, the term, "chickscope"); they created web pages (Inquiry Units) to guide and record their learning; they interacted remotely with each other and with scientists; they used online simulation and measuring tools; and managed databases. The talk looks critically at the learning communities created for students and teachers, as well as at the implications for the design of systems for community, collaboration, and content management (C3MS).
