In this research, faculty ask specific questions about their students or their teaching, gain information about these questions, and use this information to learn about teaching and their course in particular. A list of action research websites is below. Action research is an aspect of scientific teaching (Handelsman et al. 2004).

Students logon to the designated RIC website to find useful course information, assignments to complete, and links to relevant Internet sites. I use WebCT in an introductory financial accounting course to supplement the traditional classroom format by administering student quizzes, enhancing communication through WebCT mail and calendar features, and for administrative ease by posting the syllabus and selected homework problem solutions. I am very pleased with the capabilities the WebCT features have provided to my course, but I was interested in knowing how my students felt about this web-based learning tool. This past spring I asked two sections of the course to complete an anonymous student survey regarding WebCT. Quizzes I use WebCT to create and administer computerized, multiple-choice quizzes. For a small percentage of their course grade students take a chapter quiz within a designated time frame using their text and notes. While quizzes generally are a great pedagogical tool, WebCT quizzes offer some unique advantages.
Extractions: for parents, teachers, and other professionals Home Page FAQs About LD IDEA 2004 Update What's New ... LD OnLine Store Teaching Parents to Teach Their Children to Be Prosocial Strategies teachers can use to teach parents to teach their children to be prosocial are described. These strategies include teaching incidentally, performing social skills autopsies, coaching emotions, and assigning homework. Issues to be considered when working with parents and children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are addressed. We propose that by having parents as partners in the instructional process, students will better generalize prosocial skills across situations, settings, and individuals. In their now classic article, Stokes and Baer (1977) described strategies proven to promote generalization of skills across settings, situations, and individuals: Teach students social skills in settings where the skills will be used. If teaching social skills in the natural setting is not possible, we can use role playing to reflect a variety of settings or teach children to self-monitor their use of skills across settings. We can also recruit teachers and parents to prompt, teach, and reinforce use of appropriate social skills.

Extractions: Rama Mathew (University of Delhi, Delhi, India) Professor Rama Mathew has been working with teachers for over ten years supervising various projects, such as curriculum design and implementation, various professional development activities, etc. Her first project dates back to 1993 when she was one of the key educators to renew the existing ELT curriculum in Hyderabad. The renewal aimed at introduction of the communicative approach to ELT in the secondary schools. As a key decision maker she made sure that teachers become the source of knowledge and information during the implementation of the renewal process, and ensured their direct involvement by assisting them to become participatory researchers, understand the syllabus related issues and grow professionally in other aspects of teaching. She was very keen on taking such an approach, because she believed that teachers an agents of change, with a key role to fulfil in the process of social transformation.

The earliest picture book, The Little Red Computer , published in 1969, entertains listeners with the tale of a computer that doesn't understand numbers but ultimately succeeds because it is "a computer with a mind of its own" (27). Over the intervening years, children could choose from such picture books as Kermit Learns How Computers Work, Franklin and the Computer, Patrick's Dinosaurs on the Internet , and A House with No Mouse . Chapter books over the years have included The Computer That Ate My Brother, The Boggart , and Doing Time Online . Books published most recently not only include computer technologies as part of the setting, but they also include faux computer-mediated messages and texts as part of the story. M.T. Anderson's

You may find some overlapping and maybe just the merest hint of redundancy. Deal with it. The Experimental Study Group (ESG) is an academic program at MIT ESG has always emphasized innovative and excellent teaching. Undergraduate teaching is considered a vital part of the learning process for ESG students. The undergraduate teachers are selected according to their demonstrated academic ability in the subject, their skills at expressing ideas to other students, and their ability to act responsibly. Most of the undergraduate teachers are drawn from the ranks of previous ESG students, although that is not a requirement. Many undergraduate teachers have developed new innovative seminars at ESG in fields such as photography, literature and Lego Robotics (here's a page from a few years ago) . ESG supports the teachers by running a teacher training seminar
