The E-Rate program is coming under fire from several fronts and its very existence may be imperiled. Now is the time to contact your Senators and representatives to let them know how important the E-Rate is to you. Discussions of the status of educational technology in U.S. schools over the past couple of decades have too often had the character either of attempts to convince others that information and communications technology (ICT) has been successful or that it has failed. The counterpoint between cheerleaders and curmudgeons is of no value for those whose task is to find ways to make ICT improve our schools. Many of the highly dedicated and capable people who work with ICT in the schools know often better than the critics where we have fallen short in the effort derive the full measure of benefit in the use ICT for the betterment of the lives of our kids in school.

Our 72 members represent the nucleus of U.S. research and education about the ocean. The National Oceanographic Partnership Program is a cooperative effort between 14 federal agencies, academia and private industry to coordinate national oceanographic research and education programs. Since it was established in 1997, the consortium has awarded nearly $80 million to more than 50 research and educational projects in ocean science. Today there is no system to study the long-term physical, chemical and biological changes that take place within the ocean. Dynamics of Earth and Ocean Systems (DEOS) is a planning effort by the academic research community to develop a network of seafloor observatories that can conduct the first real-time studies of these critical processes. The National Ocean Science Bowl is a nationwide competition developed in 1998 to promote interest in ocean sciences. In 2003, an estimated 2,000 students and teachers representing 375 high schools will compete at 24 regional sites. Winners have toured and participated in oceanographic projects in the United States and England.

Extractions: By John Cradler, Far West Laboratory 1. Student Outcomes: The effectiveness of technology tends to vary as a function of the curriculum content and instructional strategy delivered by the technology. When content and strategies are determined to meet accepted education standards, research shows that technology: Increases performance when interactivity is prominent. Increased opportunities for interactivity with instructional programs. Is more effective with multiple technologies (video, computer, telecommunications, etc.). Improves attitude and confidence-especially for "at risk" students. Provides instructional opportunities otherwise not available. Can increase opportunities for student-constructed learning. Increases student collaboration on projects. Increase mastery of vocational and work force skills. Help prepare students for work when emphasized as a problem solving tool. Significantly improves problem solving skills of learning handicap students.
Extractions: By John Cradler, Far West Laboratory This article suggests the approach to implement technology based on the authors 25 years of experience in this area, plus the findings of studies related to technology implementation. The approach suggested emphasizes instructional and student needs first and then through planning integrates technology in ways that enhance and extend instructional and learning opportunities. This approach is currently being applied in the implementation of technologies tested as part of the CAETI program to transfer and adapt defense technologies to education. It has been repeatedly found that careful planning is a prerequisite for the effective implementation of technology and telecommunications in education and training. Lessons about planning for technology have made their way to national guidelines and programs. For example, the national education reform agendas encourage states to have incentives and direction for developing technology and NII application plans. Plans should 1) involve education stakeholders in their design; 2) be guided by education and training needs of learners; 3) specify clear objectives related to national and local education goals; and 4) incorporate technology applications and practices that have been tested for their educational benefits (NCC-TET, 1994).
