Extractions: Published Autumn 1998 by Ed Cohen Balls of crumpled colored paper came flying toward the front of the lecture hall like an indoor meteor shower. The puzzled murmurings of the students doing the throwing momentarily turned to chuckles when a paper airplane nose-dived onto a table two rows short of its mark and had to be relaunched the rest of the way. At the front of the room, instructor Michelle A. Murphy stood off to one side of the accumulating projectiles looking entirely satisfied. " You have to admit, it got you happy for a split second, " she said to the 80 or so students, mostly Ph.D. candidates in engineering, filling the tiered lecture hall. A professional specialist in Notre Dame's Department of Biological Sciences who is highly regarded for her teaching abilities, Murphy admitted that the paper tossing was intended, in part, to be an ice-breaker. The class was made up of graduate teaching assistants (T.A.s), many of whom were looking nervously ahead to their first assignment in the fall. They d enrolled in this two-day summer course to help prepare for the experience.

Extractions: M eanwhile, I also had my first steady relationship. When I was offered the opportunity to spend a year in Moscow to study Russian, I turned it down for fear of losing my girl-friend during such a long absence. Instead, I chose a one-month grant to Kiev, but even this proved to be too long - she broke it off two weeks after I had gone. I was still a student when I tried my hand at translating and submitted my first piece to a publisher. I was told that my translation had not yet reached the level of editability. Never again have I given translating another chance. Although I didn't intend to be a teacher, a condition for graduation was to complete a one-month period of teaching practice in the country. I happened to land in the lovely town of Sopron, near the Austrian border. My teaching duties involved two groups of secondary school students with an overwhelming majority of girls. Their eyes were glued on me, a strapping young man to replace Aunt Aliz, who would doze off as soon as I started the lesson, only to wake up for the bell and say: "Splendid! You're a born teacher, Peter." On graduation, I was offered seven teaching jobs - this had much less to do with my competence than with the fact that I was a male in a female profession and that English was more and more in demand. I accepted a job in the school named after a great Hungarian poet and Holocaust victim, Miklós Radnóti.

It's available in the KS3 Skills library I've heard David Crystal speak twice now and it's an experience I can highly recommend. Both times he was exploring the language of new technologies and although I knew next to nothing about the subject (apart from my own personal experience of a serious email and internet habit - is there such a thing as a webaholic I wonder?) I found what he had to say about the language of the web and email fascinating. Which is why I was pleased to discover that he's to be the keynote speaker at NATE conference 2005 . Happily, the Teachit team will be there in force again, so I'll get to repeat the experience. See below to find out more about the conference and the Teachit Resource Centre.

Extractions: Shelley Ridgway and Paul Richiardi Three of the University of Melbourne's outstanding teachers will share their passion and expertise internationally with colleagues at Universitas 21 institutions this year, following the award of the inaugural Universitas 21 Fellowships. Professor Peter McPhee, Head of the Department of History; Professor Amanda Sinclair, Foundation Professor in Management (Diversity and Change) at the Melbourne Business School; and School of Physics Associate Professor David Jamieson, will each travel to a selection of the 20 member institutions to strengthen academic links, gather information on teaching practices and share their own teaching expertise. What makes each of these people a leader in their field? History inspires love of learning Professor Peter McPhee has a teaching strategy which illustrates both his passion and his ability for his craft. It involves seizing that moment in a tutorial when a slightly lateral discussion might start and running with the opportunity to allow students to try out new ideas. It encompasses all of the things which are central to his teaching philosophyÑthe importance of exchange and openness, the importance of human interaction, and the importance of conveying passion, which he has for both his craft and his discipline.

Extractions: Click here for PDF version The burgeoning private education sector in India holds some surprising lessons for both developing and developed countries alike. A common assumption about the private sector in education is that it caters only for the elite, and that its promotion would only serve to exacerbate inequality. On the contrary, recent research points in the opposite direction. If we want to help some of the most disadvantaged groups in society, then encouraging deeper private sector involvement is likely to be the best way forward. This piece outlines three developments in India, all of which involve the private education sector meeting the needs of the poor in distinct ways. But India is not unique in this respect. Similar projects are happening all over the developing world.

Williams Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. This study examined the effectiveness of Pre-Autumn Experience as a pre-requisite for student teaching. The course deals with the opening of school; undergraduate students helping teachers to set up the classroom before the arrival of their students. The undergraduate students have the opportunity to interact with the pupils, staff and other school district personnel. To achieve the purpose of the study, I observed the pre-autumn experience undergraduate students, conference with the group, and kept a dairy of their reports. Teachers and principals were also asked for feedback about the program. After reviewing the information collected during my observation, I will conclude that the Pre-Autumn Experience is a worthy assignment for teacher education students.

From the campus of Loma Linda University, Diana Medal, instructor, department of health information management, School of Allied Health Professions, welcomes her class at the Humanitec Rehabilitation College in Japan using video-conferencing. The students appear on the television screen to Ms. Medal's left, as well as on a screen in front of her. For one student, it is a dream come true. For another, it's a chance to learn English and gain a long-awaited degree. For all the students, it's a journey to accomplishing goals, experiencing new teaching methods, and developing international friendships. A year after the initial agreement was made, 19 students at Humanitec Rehabilitation College (HRC), Yokkaichi City, Japan, began classes leading to a healthscience degree from LLU. "There are many reasons why I chose to do the Loma Linda program," an occupational therapy student relates in the HRC student newsletter. "The curriculum contains things I never expected. Also, I had given up learning English, but wanted to try again."

Kendall Powell learns about the balancing act. When Carol Thornber took her first faculty position last autumn, she inherited teaching responsibility for two undergraduate courses. Although Thornber, a marine ecologist, had to some extent been prepared by a unique postdoctoral training programme, making the transition from student to lecturer was far from plain sailing. Her autumn course in upper-level marine botany, at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, had her scrambling to learn East Coast species of algae and scouting field-trip sites. Her spring class, introductory biology for some 130 first-year undergraduates, had her struggling with endless administrative duties. But by the middle of the year, Thornber says, she had made a discovery that changed the way she worked.

In keeping with Chalmers policy for graduate courses the language of instruction will be English but discussions will occur in both Swedish and English.

Extractions: Go directly to the Syllabus Welcome to the Astronomy 161 course! You are about to start a journey of discovery of the Universe in which you have been born. Over most of your life, your sight and thoughts will be focused down to the ground, on objects on the surface of the Earth at a very small distance from you, and your attention will be dedicated in getting along with your life on the Earth. But the Earth is a tiny fraction of the universe. We are like microbes that spend all of their lives in the same grain of sand in an immense beach, oblivious to the huge world around them. To understand what a small part of the universe the Earth is, let us imagine for a moment that all matter in the universe had a fixed price per unit of mass. If the Sun were to cost $1000, then the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter, would cost only $1, and for the Earth you would not even get a worthless penny! Our Milky Way Galaxy contains many billions of stars like the Sun, and it would cost the entire Gross Domestic Product of the USA accumulated for the last decade. And there are many billions of galaxies in the universe like the Milky Way. Not only we are such a small, inconspicuous part of the universe; in addition, our lives span only a tiny instant in comparison to the time over which the Earth, the Solar System and the universe have existed. We live for about 100 years only, but the universe has existed for 14 billion years, and the Earth and the Solar System for 4.5 billion years, or about one third as long as the universe. The lifespan of a person compared to the age of the Earth is roughly like what half a minute is to a person.
