Watching Grass Grow: Biology Explorations Online

author: Gillian Puttick
description: On-line professional development for teachers often lacks focus on inquiry and fails to encourage teacher collaboration. This article describes the development of an on-line biology course that is part of a TERC/Lesley online master's degree program in science education. We feature it because of its commitment to fostering both teacher collaboration and inquiry in an on-line environment.
