Systems of internet astronomical observatory in Miyagi University of Education were renewed and improved in 2004. It becomes more user-friendly, such as, (1)color movies of stars, (2)small data amount, (3)accesses by internet browsers. Thus, school teachers can engage in observing stars easily during lessons in classrooms.On all the weekdays of fine weather from September to December in 2005, Venus Live had been open to public via internet. From any place of the world, we can observe the present Venus via internet during the period. Venus live focuses on the science classes of junior high school, in which students learn the relation of the shape of the Venus observed from the earth and the orbital position. There were 1200 accesses in total and 25 accesses per day in average. We collaborated with science teachers of Myojo and Oritate junior high schools to conduct classes using Venus Live. They used Venus live to show their students the present shape of Venus. In addition, students of the sixth grade of British elementary school accessed the MUE Internet telescope in their science lesson and observed stars and planets in March in 2006.Moreover, as a teaching aid for environmental educations, a night sky meter was developed by the research cooperator, H.Ito, to measure the light pollution of the night sky. High school students investigate the brightness in their town, while students of an industrial high school manufacturing it. A very wide-angle camera to image the position of the sun was also developed. Movies of the seasonal diurnal motion of the sun were created for elementary educations using the camera.An internet community with school teachers and research cooperators, ‘Forum of the starry sky observing net' (http://www.hosizora.miyakyo-u.ac.jp/) were enhanced. It introduces experiment materials developed by the communities.

宫城教育大学网络天文台系统于2004年进行了更新和完善，变得更加人性化，如：（1）星星彩色电影，（2）数据量小，（3）通过网络浏览器访问。这样，学校老师就可以在课堂上轻松地观察星星。 2005年9月至12月的所有工作日，Venus Live都通过互联网向公众开放。期间可以通过网络观测金星直播，重点是初中的科学课，学生通过网络了解从地球观测到的金星形状与轨道位置的关系，总共有1200次访问。平均每天有 25 次访问，我们与 Myojo 和 Oritate 初中的科学老师合作，​​使用 Venus Live 向学生展示 Venus 的当前形状。英国小学2006年3月，在科学课上使用了MUE互联网望远镜，观察了恒星和行星。此外，作为环境教育的教具，研究合作者H.Ito开发了夜空仪，用于测量夜空的光污染。高中生调查他们城镇的亮度，而一所工业高中的学生也开发了一种用于拍摄太阳季节性运动的广角相机。为使用相机的基础教育创建了一个由学校教师和研究合作者组成的互联网社区“星空观测网论坛”(http://www.hosizora.miyakyo-u.ac.jp/)。介绍社区开发的实验材料。
