The Telegarden 
Grades: 2-12
Ongoing? No
Imagine students worldwide being able to tend to the same garden (a real garden, not a virtual one!). The Telegarden is just that. In this project, Internet users manipulate a tele-robotic arm in order to view, plant, water, and monitor the progress of a Los Angeles garden filled with livingplants. The site also encourages a deeper look at the issues, stating,"Internet behavior might be characterized as 'hunting and gathering'; ourpurpose is to consider the 'post-nomadic' community, where survival favorsthose who work together."

Telescopes in Education
Grades: K-12
By using a special software, a computer, and an Internet connection, students can remotely operate a telescope located in high on a mountain in Southern California. This project, which is supported by NASA andother respected institutions, has helped students observe galaxies andmake real contributions to science.
