    "title": "Learning Science with a Child-Focused Resource: A Case Study of Kids as Global Scientists",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This project investigates student\nlearning within an innovative model of\nclassroom learning: student-generated and\nmaintained nodes of \"expertise\" along the\nInternet superhighway. Using Internet\naccess as the backbone for classroom\nactivities in the environmental and\natmospheric sciences, the Kids as Global\nScientists (KGS) project is contributing\ninsights into: 1) h o w the technology can be\nused to promote middle school students'\nconstruction of knowledge, 2) the nature of\ndistributed expertise across child-\ndeveloped and focused Internet nodes, and 3)\nthe design of K-12 appropriate Internet\ninterfaces. In particular, the K G S project\nrecognizes that current Internet resources are\nnot focused with a K-12 audience in mind.\nTherefore, a shift in focus from adult to\nchild-focused Internet nodes w a s\nestablished. In addition, the development\nof communities of learners which support\nthe exchange of information between\ndiverse and geographically distinct\nlearners is investigated. Results indicate\nthat becoming student experts in particular\nareas of science that other students value,\nand being responsible resources for other students' learning increases the \"use value\"\nof students' knowledge and encourages the\nlearning of real science from first hand\nsources.",
