Extractions: by Stephen C. Ehrmann, Director, Flashlight Program Why Study What Children and Teachers Do with Technology? The more a school and its children use computing and the Web, the more important it is to consciously study those uses. There are at least three reasons for this relationship: The technologies that once were the exclusive base for school learning (classroom construction, blackboards, textbooks, paper, pencils, etc.) didn't change quickly. So the teacher and administrator intuition, developed over a lifetime of hard-won experience, was usually a valid guide to action. But the rapid pace of change of computer technology is changing both expectations of what students should learn, as well as the means of learning. The past is no longer so accurate a guide to future action, for legislators, for system administrators, or for teachers. As quickly as new technology appears, it starts sliding down the road to obsolescence. There is no longer time for so much trial and error learning by teachers and schools. In fact, many past promises about technology-enabled reform have fallen short because the technological rug was yanked out from underneath the technology by obsolescence, long before the promised improvements in outcomes could be achieved. For an analysis of this phenomenon at the college level, see the author's article, "

Extractions: OII's Entry for the NII Awards OII in 25 words... OII is a grassroots national telecollaboration effort to help people place themselves at the center of their own learning, within a vibrant online community. Summary Description The Online Internet Institute ( OII ) is an emerging paradigm for ongoing collaborative professional growth. Created by classroom educators and supported by proponents of education reform, the Online Internet Institute demonstrates the network's power to help change the way people teach and learn. The OII is an expanding virtual community of practioners and others who care about reinventing teaching and learning, by reflecting on our teaching practices, supporting our peers, and fostering a knowledge-building learning environment. Since our beginning in June of 1995, OII has helped 1130 participants invest more than 18,800 hours in their own professional growth. Background OII started from a conversation between Ferdi Serim and Bonnie Bracey, who were reflecting on the difficulty educators face in learning to use the Internet. They thought that creating a "place" on the Internet where the Internet ethos (share what you know, help who you can as others have helped you) could nurture anyone who wanted to discover how the Internet could support lifelong learning would be very powerful and effective. On January 18, 1995, a single message was sent to 20 luminaries in the field of educational networking asking if they'd serve as advisors as we developed the project. Every single person said "No! We don't want to advise, we want to *do* the project!". Most of these folks were usually competitors on big grants, and rarely had the opportunity to collaborate. We had no money, no organization, we were just two teachers with an idea.

Extractions: WELLESLEY, Mass. - Dec. 18, 2000 - Babson College and Cenquest, a leader in delivering school-branded educational programs over the Internet, today announced an agreement with Intel Corporation, the world's largest chip maker, to deliver a custom MBA program designed primarily for Intel employees. The Babson curriculum will be developed around real Intel work projects, for an advanced degree program that is both academically rigorous and immediately relevant to company specific objectives. Cenquest will work with Babson to adapt the curriculum to include media rich online components to the Intel classes. The collaboration between Intel, Babson, and Cenquest to develop company-specific curriculum marks a radical change in the way academia and corporations work together. The Intel program, which is expected to initially instruct 25-30 students, will begin in mid-2001. Cenquest will also market the Babson onsite/online hybrid MBA program to other corporations. The unique corporation/academia alliance is designed to be a win/win situation for companies and employees. Since much of the course content is related to real work projects, employees gain advanced degrees while increasing their immediate and long-term value to the employer. Companies are able to offer an attractive education program critical to attracting and retaining key employees while limiting the risk of losing the employee once course work is completed.

WRIGHT AND ELIZABETH K. WILSON The University of Alabama, USA Technology has permeated our educational experiences from electronic mail to virtual field trips by way of the Internet. As educators seek viable ways to use technology to enhance teaching and learning experiences, colleges must also prepare future teachers to plan for effective technology use. Teacher preparation programs should not only integrate technology throughout the curriculum, but should also provide opportunities for the students to manage problems within the actual school setting as they integrate various tools of technology. for computers to make a difference in how students experience schooling will require teachers and administrators to modify their concepts of appropriate and inappropriate teaching behaviors, to reprioritize the value of different types of instructional content, and to change habits and assumptions that guide their classroom and school management strategies (Becker, 1991, p. 8).

Extractions: Master of Education Degree The Online Master of Education degree (M.Ed.) is an online education degree of the Graduate Studies in Education Department. It mirrors the very successful and popular onsite Masters of Education program. This department offers additional services, elective courses, and programs of study that support practicing P-12 classroom teachers in their search for increased knowledge and skills. The program is designed around a cohort structure, meaning that candidates remain in their respective cohorts from the beginning of the online education degree program until graduation. By its very nature then, the Online Master of Education degree program targets adult learners. There are several distinct characteristics of adult learners that have been identified through research. These characteristics and learning styles play a critical role in the success of the Online Master of Education degree program.

Extractions: MPEG. PCMCIA. CD-R. ISDN. It sounds like a bowl of technological alphabet soup. If youve been shopping lately in consumer electronics stores or reading computer advertisements, you know what we mean. Technological acronyms have gone beyond the simple PC of yesterday. Computing no longer means you, alone at the computer. It means you, along with the Information Superhighway, massive multimedia, and all kinds of new advances. In this article, weve taken 10 of the biggest technologies today and put them in a language we can all understand. These technologies are playing a critical role in revolutionizing computing. While we dont list every important advancement in the industry, we think these are the 10 topics that people who want to be in the know should be aware of. Computer Telephony Though this term technically includes anything that applies computer intelligence to communications devices such as voice mail, facsimile, and videoconferencing, its frequently used to mean computer telephony integration (CTI). In other words, it combines phones with computers. With CTI, you can dial your telephone from a contact manager or personal information manager (PIM) and then store the information about incoming and outgoing calls, such as who called when and how long that call lasted, says Susan King, director of Computer Telephone Integration Product Management at Northern Telecom. You even can have access to a voice mail system or have an answering machine in your PC, King says.

Consider this example: A library card catalog in which the information about library books (data) is found on the catalog card (metadata). In terms of eLearning, the card catalog is the metadata and the library books would be the learning objects used to teach a course. This month, we wanted to learn more about learning objects, so we visited with Karen Massetti Miller, director of courseware development at GeoLearning. Karen oversees GeoLearnings courseware development division, where she develops Web-based training courses, repurposes instructional materials for online delivery, and conducts application training for clients via the classroom and live webcasts.

She is the founder of both MediaMOO, a MUD designed to be a professional community for media researchers, and MOOSE Crossing, a constructionist learning environment designed to get kids excited about reading, writing, and programming. For more information about her classroom activities, please see her homepage Michael Brundage has been using MOOs in his teaching of freshman-level multivariable calculus and geometry for about a year and a half. For the freshman calculus course, the MOO functioned as a fancy Web server, providing access to online copies of handouts given in class, answer keys (not usually available in class), test schedules, interactive worksheets (such as a partial differentiation drill), bulletin boards, and even a Mathematica graphing engine (which allowed students to enter a one, two, or three variable equation and then see its graph). Used in this capacity, the MOO was accessed over 1000 times each week. Jeff Cooper teaches English at Richmond High School. He has used MOOs to conference with students on-line and to introduce students to object oriented programming.

Extractions: The phenomenal growth of the Internet and the wealth of resources from institutions such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have the potential to significantly enhance science education in our schools. Forging strong collaborative partnerships between organizations such as science museums and NASA allow new space science discoveries to be transformed into well designed Web-based learning materials. These resources offer exciting new learning opportunities for teachers, students, and the general public. The Internet has also created a new means by which museums function and interconnect with other institutions. Interesting new work environments are opening up for museum professionals who enjoy blending education, public relations, science, and technology talents with museum and teaching experience. Technology has thereby expanded opportunities for professionals to find employment outside of the museum, but in contexts that support their mission. Such openings, for example, can be found in collaborative partnerships with museums established by universities, school districts, and even the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
