Introducing the internet to schools and spending vast resources to wire almost all of our classrooms have both inspired and frustrated science teachers who struggle to take advantage of its many promises. Time and time again educators have been promised great advances from new technologies. Radio, moving pictures, and the teaching machine, to name a few, have been ballyhooed at their introduction, but ultimately have done little to change how we teach and learn (Cuban 1986). This paper demonstrates one internet technology that can help teachers, parents, and administrators communicate better and requires little money or training.
