Abstract: WebSTAR, a curriculum design tool designed to promote intercampus collaboration among teacher education faculty and their classes, was developed in response to the increasing demand on teacher education faculty to utilize and model the use of the Internet with their students. Six social studies methods faculty across the state of Wisconsin collaboratively developed a WebSTAR component for use in their Spring 2003 k-12 social studies methods courses. This paper defines the structure and design of the WebSTAR tool and reports on the perceptions of faculty and 172 pre-service teachers on how WebSTAR facilitated powerful teaching and learning.
