The Journey Inside features a broad range of interactive activities, background material and lesson plan ideas to help teachers and students in fifth to ninth grade learn how computers and the Internet work. The new online version includes more information on how the Internet works and how technology affects our daily lives. The Web makes this valuable information available to anyone around the world with a PC and an Internet connection. This section of the site includes tools to help teachers customize the text pages and interactive activities in the student section to fit the needs of their different classes. It also contains supplemental and background materials for the classroom.
Teachers can create unique logins so students have access only to select lessons.
By the end of 2000, Intel had shipped more than 110,000 kits free of charge to teachers in the United States and Canada. The material had been translated into several languages, including Portuguese and Thai. Original classroom kits are available while supplies last. Ordering information can be found on the Journey Inside homepage. The plans have been written by teachers and cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, math, English and foreign languages.
