How to Use the Internet The World Wide Web - The Ultimate Information Source for Teaching Biology Alice BERGFELD Peter v. SENGBUSCH IT-support: Rolf BERGMANN http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/ The World Wide Web has now for about 10 years been a source of general information. Originally developed as the ARPA net, it served as a decentralized security device for military applications. When it was released, it developed into a network for the scientific community and from there it spread to a wider public and even to commercial use. In last year's PKAL Summer Institute at Keystone / Colorado we organized a workshop session entitled "Virtual Plants ? - Enhancing Learning with Information Technologies" . To support our ideas, we established a digital library called "The Internet Library - Teaching Botany and Related Topics" . We asked a number of our collegues, who are internet authors, to allow us to mirror their projects on our server and to produce a limited number of non-commercial CDs for the members of the workshop, for the contributing authors, and for students and faculties of a few East-African Universities. textbooks in conserving knowledge and supporting science. We have focussed on personal engagements, experiences in teaching and opinions of the authors as documented in the prefaces of their textbooks. Their accomplishments result in something resembling a history of textbook literature and its possibilities to support scientific progress.

Curriculum Click on Item to View More Information Practical Life Acquiring life skills is a very important part of healthy childhood development! Children actually have a period of time when toys are of little interest. They are much more interested in helping adults with they things that they are doing. However, the child is not interested in using “toy” tools, but real tools such as brooms, sponges, bushes, cleaning rags, and other items. In a Montessori environment, all of our activities are called “work”, but that term does not mean “labor”. Rather, the term “work” is used with a positive connotation when referring to “play”. The result? The use of “work” is used in a context with enjoyable activities so that the child takes pride. Practical Life Activities are the foundation for the child’s introduction to Montessori school. Most of the activities, the child sees done daily in his/her home and often make the link between home and school. The activities vary. They are simple and repetitive, but are extremely important for the child. He/she accomplishes much more than completing an activity, if you were to observe children working in this area you would notice the following:

Article Plant-ed Turns Four! Jonathan Monroe Dept. of Biology, James Madison University For the past four years Plant-ed has served the international community of plant biology educators as an electronic forum for exchanging information related to teaching courses on plants. Plant-ed is a BIOSCI Newsgroup currently housed at both the Stanford University Library and the Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington, UK. It was initiated in the fall of 1994 as a prototype Newsgroup available only by e-mail, and in June of 1995, after a favorable vote, it became an full fledged newsgroup distributed by USENET News. Users can subscribe to the e-mail version (see below) or read and post messages through USENET newsreader software, or through the web. The Newsgroup's charter is reproduced below. The types of questions posted to the Newsgroup have been so diverse that a few examples here would not do them justice. On numerous occasions, reading someone else's question has made me realize that I have had the same question but never the need to find the answer. My classes have been improved by simply watching the messages on Plant-ed! Readers of the newsgroup may reply publicly or privately, but public conversations are preferred and can become quite interesting. Every week I am reminded of the thoughtfulness and helpfulness of Plant-ed users both from the public replies and from the compilations of replies sent back to the group. There are truly a lot of kind-hearted soles out there willing to take the time to answer questions. The importance of this feedback cannot be underestimated, especially at smaller institutions where expertise is not often down the hall. Thanks!

News from the Society, the Sections and the Committees, part 2 Reports from the Sections: Bryological and Lichenological Section — Paula DePriest, Chair Developmental and Structural Section The section continues to have high levels of activity associated with the annual meeting. During the past year, the first fund raising drive was undertaken to establish travel grants for students to attend annual BSA meetings. Two separate programs for travel awards to student members of the Developmental and Structural Section of the Botanical Society of America were established. In total, over $2,800 was contributed by the members of the section and an additional match of $2,500 was committed, bringing the total amount raised this past year to over $5,300. The goal for each of these funds is to encourage and support student attendance at the annual BSA meeting. Each travel award will be in the amount of the student registration fee ($85 this year) for the current annual BSA meeting. There is no requirement for a student to present a contributed paper in association with either of these travel awards. At the 1998 annual meetings, 7 student members of the Developmental and Structural Section received awards! Vernon Cheadle Student Travel Award Endowment-In honor of the memory of Dr. Vernon Cheadle, the goal of this endowment is to grow the principal over the long term, while making travel awards to several students per year to attend the annual meetings of the Botanical Society of America.

Teaching Activities I teach two graduate courses, Population Ecology and Population Analysis . Population Ecology is team-taught with Dr. Kirk Moloney of Botany and it covers basic theory of population dynamics including growth models, predation, competition, and population projection. Population Analysis covers statistical and analytical techniques for estimating parameters of biological populations, and is frequently taken by students from Entomology Statistics , and Zoology/Genetics . I also teach an undergraduate course called Ecological Methods which includes elements of statistical design, population sampling and estimation, field sampling of vegetation, and mapping habitat using geographic information systems. I have been instrumental in developing computing facilities for students in biological sciences at Iowa State University. Back to Home Research Activities Teaching Activities

The ROM Herbaria, Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Biology Location: 3rd Floor, 14 Queen's Park Crescent W, Toronto, Ontario The mandate of the ROM Herbaria is to develop and make responsible use of collections of specimens and associated documents which, as fully as possible within the limitations of available resources, represent the state of knowledge of living and Quaternary species of vascular and cryptogamic plants; to exhibit, study and carry out research on these collections and the living organisms they represent, to make the collections available to qualified individuals for research or reference, and to disseminate information based on them. The ROM Herbaria comprises three principal collections: the Vascular Plant Herbarium , a collection of Quaternary sediment cores, macro- and microfossils, and modern reference material (pollen, seeds, etc.), and the Cryptogamic Herbarium (TRTC). ROM Herbaria based curators carry out research, and teach in the Botany Department of the University of Toronto at both the undergraduate and graduate level, in addition to their collection and other responsibilities. These activities are funded not only by the university and by the ROM, but also by research grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and other agencies. Opportunities for post-graduate research thus may exist with both Botany curators (see below).

Biology Major Courses, B.S. or B.A. Biology Minor Environmental Biology Minor Pre-Professional Areas Biology Curriculum The biology curriculum is based on the premise that a biologist, regardless of professional goals, must demonstrate a high degree of competence in several areas of biology. These areas include anatomy, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology and taxonomy. In order to achieve maximum benefits from these areas, a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics is imperative. Whether a student plans to complete a liberal arts degree and enter graduate school, teach, attend a professional school, or otherwise pursue a career in biology, the same basic Biology curriculum is followed. Science teaching majors also may have primary or supporting areas in biology or a minor in biology. Curricula, which have proven to be highly successful, are also offered in Science Teaching, pre-medical technology

Preschool (Children's House) Practical Life Practical life is the area of the classroom where children learn coordination, confidence, cooperation, independence, and order. These activities include care of self, care of the environment, and physical skills. Care-of-self activities include handwashing, snack preparation, and dressing activities. These activities help the young child gain confidence in him/herself. Care-of-the-environment activities can include plant and animal care, as well as cleaning activities. Sweeping, scrubbing, and polishing all help children learn the importance of order. If steps are done incorrectly, the results can be less than desirable. The area of practical life called "physical skills" incorporates numerous activities. Here children work on pouring, scooping, twisting, lacing, squeezing and pounding just to name a few of the activities. These activities are great for learning coordination skills. The small motor skills are a prerequisite for developing strong capable hands that will be needed for writing activities. The activities in physical skills will vary and meet all abilities and age levels. Let's take a look at "lacing" as one such activity:
