SOCRATES
SOCRATES
(Science On-line Computer Resource Aid Targeting Educators
and Students) is an educational resource which exploits the
power of e-mail, WWW browsers, Chat groups, news groups, and
mailing lists. It is intended for use by teachers and students
to access and exchange information about science. The SOCRATES
project is sponsored by the FSGC and the Higher Education
Consortium for Science and Mathematics.
SOCRATES provides a simple way for teachers
and students in primary and secondary schools to access information
about science. It specifically targets K-12 in order to instill
an early interest in the sciences among students, and to help
foster the growth of that interest as students begin to choose
career goals.
Examples of the services provided by
SOCRATES include:
- Answers to Students Questions
- Answers to Teachers Questions
- Conversations about Teaching
- Resource Sharing
The SOCRATES project is still being developed
and more services will be added in the near future.
