Extractions: Imagine you are an observer in an elementary-school classroom. Two shiny new computers are hooked up to the school's network and the Internet. The teacher steps to the front of her room, smiles at 35 young faces and poses a challenge: "OK, class, we have downloaded a wonderful picture of penguins from the Web. Who can tell me how to insert this picture into a report written in Microsoft Word?" She is not conducting a test. The 10-year-olds are teaching her how to use the software. This is how many public-school teachers are learning computer technology or improving their software knowledge: their students are passing along skills and shortcuts learned on their own, from their parents or other kids. For many teachers, formal computer training often is not readily available or affordable in their school districts. And many low-paid teachers cannot afford good home computers and Internet accounts that would let them gain experience and confidence from daily use.

Extractions: If you're thinking that with all this emphasis on IT careers, somewhere out there must be a huge market for training, you're right. In 1999, Training magazine, along with Lakewood Research, did a survey of companies with more than 100 employees and asked them about their training expenditures. They found that the total budgeted for formal training in that year was a whopping $62.5 billion. Now that you've got dollar signs in your eyes, let me entice you further by saying that training organizations are looking everywhere for good instructors and doing their best to keep them. Recently I interviewed Rene Munday, Internet Program Manager at Santa Clara, Calif.-based New Horizons Computer Learning. She told me that it's common for instructors to be approached by students on a regular basis to see if they will go to work for the company the students work for.

Extractions: (Timothy Patrick Moran) Employing literature as a pedagogical tool in the sociology classroom is a well-known and accepted practice in many courses and curricula. Yet nearly every discussion of this "sociology through literature" approach either explicitly refers to or implies the use of fiction novel. In this paper, the sociology through literature approach is extended to include poetry as pedagogically useful classroom material. Poetry provides many of the gains attributed to using literature in general, while also conveying some unique advantages over other literary forms. I discuss the benefits of using poetry to teach and apply sociological concepts, and provide specific examples of how I employ this technique to teach social inequality.

Extractions: A t Dow Elementary, Tim, a fourth-grader, mulled over the names of American presidents. Besides Washington, Lincoln, and a few others, he didn't know much about the former heads of state. One thing Tim did know, however, was that The Kennedy Space Center was named after President John F. Kennedy. As a stargazer and space-shuttle fan, he decided to look into the life of this president and learn what space exploration was like during his presidency. Tim began his research on-lineand that's when the confusion began. As Tim delved into Kennedy's life, he was surprised to learn that the president was killed while in office. Dozens of official-looking sites on the Internet focused on the assassination. The problem was, their stories conflicted. And many didn't jibe with what he read in books or what his parents told him. Sidetracked from what he had set out to learn about Kennedy and space exploration, Tim wondered which information was correct. Tim's problem is not unique. The accuracy of information on the Web is not guaranteed. Anyone with access to a computer and a little know-how can set up a site. There are no web librarians to control and evaluate the information that's posted. No cyberpolice patrol the sites to keep browsers safe from unreliable information. (However, software is available to filter out inappropriate sites.) So while some sites are excellent, otherswhich may look informative and have engaging graphicsrun the gamut from inaccurate to downright untrue.

Extractions: Always Busy! Some tried and true ideas that work in the one-computer classroom. By Mary Storey M any teachers find it a challenge to make full use of just one or two computers in the classroom. But experience shows that there are some tried and true ideas that work in the one-computer classroom. For simulation software programs such as those for history, science or geography, two or three students gathered around the computer is most effective. One student can control the keyboard, one student does the oral reading from the screen and the third student makes notes, completes a work sheet or keeps a diary of the decisions made or events that happen in the software. If these students rotate their jobs every 10 minutes the written work is completed in three different writing styles and every student gets to use the keyboard.

Has your district mandated that each teacher begin "integrating technology" but you're not sure what that means? Have you decided to take the technology plunge and don't know where to begin! Let us help! Integrating technology simply means using computers within the existing curriculum. Technology should not supplant what you usually teach. It should become a tool just like a calculator, a pen, or a chalkboard that helps you teach and helps your students learn. It's that simple.
