The Multimedia Science Classroom
A Q-7 Scientific and Quantitative Literacy Project
Final Report

	The initial phase of this project involved the purchasing of the materials 
and 
equipment. A full Multimedial Science Classroom set and one additional 
student station 
were purchased from the Computer Curriculum Corporation. In addition, a 
modem and 
modem accessory kit and a Macintosh 6115CD computer were purchased from 
the SCSU 
computer store. Upon arrival of these materials and equipment, they were 
inventoried and 
tested.
	The second phase involved faculty training in the use of these materials. 
The cost of 
this training was included in the purchase price and was led by a team from 
Computer 
Curriculum Corporation. Faculty training was scheduled for December12 and 
13. 1995 
with six faculty scheduled to participate. During the training session, it was 
discovered that 
most of the printed materials were not included in the original shipment and 
so the 
trainerŐs copies were used. After the completion of the training session, I 
contacted 
Computer Curriculum Corporation to send the missing manuals and teacherŐs 
guides. 
These have not been received as of this time. Due  to the lack of these 
manuals, the 
Multimedial Science Classroom  materials have not been integrated into the 
classroom 
activities for preservice science teachers.
