Extractions: We are fortunate in our district to have our computers linked to a TV which is mounted on a wall. It makes it easier to incorporate various software and the internet into daily lessons (I teach Reading/Language Arts). I also have two additional computers (one is a castoff from home) which the kids use in their free time as they finish their work. To enable some of my slower students to get some computer time, I occasionally use a roster with the kids' names to decide who will have computer time that day. Sometimes I'll start at the beginning, middle or end of the roster to allow everyone an equal chance of using the computer. Good luck! Using the computer effectively in the classroom can be a tricky business! Karen Idea #4

Extractions: RN: A17587350 WNY businesses and organizations work to conquer fear of cyberspace Technology has created a new paranoia: cyberphobia. Though cyberphobia is mostly a result of inexperience and apprehension about computers and the Internet, some people are genuinely scared to learn how to use a computer, says Janet Herman, a certified clinical mental-health counselor in private practice in Williamsville. "One of the things I'm starting to see is people who are going back into the job market and are absolutely petrified to touch a computer," she says. The first step toward curing the condition is learning more about it, says Jane Rosenfeld, coordinator of CD-ROM and online services at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Lesson No. 1: While it is possible to damage a computer, it's not possible to ruin or damage the Internet.

Extractions: The Internet is revolutionizing the way we communicate information across the world and across town. Increasingly, the answer to almost any question starts with, "Let's do an Internet search." Although there is a tremendous amount of "junk" out there, there are many easy-to-find nuggets of good information or services that would otherwise be unavailable or at least very hard to obtain. Families are recognizing the benefits and potential of the Internet, and are getting connected at an unprecedented rate. Most home computers purchased today are for the purpose of "getting on the Internet." Given the fact that the World Wide Web did not exist until 1994, we are witnessing the birth of a new era in communication. Why family guidelines are so important Immediate and private access to "information" is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, unnecessary barriers have been removed. That is a good thing. On the other hand, traditional barriers of protection for children have crumbled as well, potentially exposing them to dangers that were unheard of 10 years ago. For example, in former times children were protected from pornography by the location and doors of adult bookstores, along with laws that prevented children from entering such establishments. Today's legal climate stubbornly refuses to protect children from the same material coming from the "Dark Side" of the Internet into our children's bedrooms—all in the name of Constitutional free speech.

These are vastly different missions, with (presumably) quite different measures of success. What are the similarities and differences of the two programs? Does the agenda of one shape the agenda of the other? How do these worlds differ? The business world has a bottom-line orientation that is easier to quantify and assess. It has competitive realities that drive faster and more thoroughgoing implementations of technology. It is more willing to spend money on staff development and building of internal skills sets.
