Extractions: We are fortunate in our district to have our computers linked to a TV which is mounted on a wall. It makes it easier to incorporate various software and the internet into daily lessons (I teach Reading/Language Arts). I also have two additional computers (one is a castoff from home) which the kids use in their free time as they finish their work. To enable some of my slower students to get some computer time, I occasionally use a roster with the kids' names to decide who will have computer time that day. Sometimes I'll start at the beginning, middle or end of the roster to allow everyone an equal chance of using the computer. Good luck! Using the computer effectively in the classroom can be a tricky business! Karen Idea #4

Internet Book To resource those who teach on creative writing courses The internet is only a delivery mechanism; only a connection between points. http://www.internetwriter.co.uk/intro.htm
Extractions: Introduction Only connect Why go online? This is not a recipe book This ... Why isn't the whole book online? Only connect, EM Forster famously wrote. Perhaps that should now be, Only interconnect. Linking to the Internet is part of what being a writer is today joining an invaluable communications network. But is it invaluable? Isnt it a waste of time? I hear you ask. I hope to answer that. Forsters only connect arose out of a supreme pre-occupation with human connection in its moral and social aspects. Like many authors today, he was deeply suspicious of the technology of connectivity while having an uncanny ability to predict exactly how it would develop. His short story The Machine Stops essentially anticipates the Internet and his warnings about how his imagined world might affect relationships, communities and their interconnections are as fresh now as they were in 1909 when the story was first published. The world needs writers like Forster as seers and thinkers to help make sense of this extraordinary development in modern society. If writers interconnect, become a part of the Internet, they will not only benefit from its assets but also free the imagination to construct stories about its future.

Extractions: Students ... Visitors Network Connectivity at Ball State Ball State University recognizes the key role telecommunications play in the missions of teaching, learning, research, and service. Telecommunications technologies, networks, and services are the underpinning infrastructure upon which many activities that are critical to students, faculty and staff rely. Over the years, Ball State has made a significant investment in computing and information technology to sustain its academic programs and support operations. The University has made steady progress in the use of computing and information technology in the past decade. As a result, Ball State students, faculty, and staff have become increasingly active in the use of technology to fulfill their scholarship, research, support, and administrative needs. Like most universities, Ball State faces a continuous challenge to provide and maintain its advanced level of resources to adequately address growing computing and information technology demands. In today's world, the network is coming into its own as an indispensable resource. It is vital for it to be ubiquitous, reliable and transparent in its use. The Networking/Infrastructure group of Ball State University Computing Services is dedicated to providing the engineering and support required to keep the University's network as reliable and simple to use as any other critical service. We provide a full level of support at the local area, wide area, and backbone levels.

Using Internet For Teaching internet RESOURCES FOR TEACHING URBAN SOCIOLOGY kind of technical resources they need to have, how to get connected, how to use HTML formats themselves. http://mumford.cas.albany.edu/teachingguide/netforteaching/netforteaching.htm
Extractions: INTERNET RESOURCES FOR TEACHING URBAN SOCIOLOGY The spread of internet use and the availability of a wide range of information posted on the internet makes it necessary to present at least some aspects of internet use as a teaching tool. At the end of this section you will find a list of recommended and most used web sites, however first we would like to show you what some professors have already done and how they have made use of the internet in their classes. The advantages of this personalized approach are to present real-life educators and how they have organized their teaching tools. This, we believe, will humanize a bit the advanced technology usage and give the reader the option of learning from the experience of others, as well as the opportunity to contact them with questions. 1. As the first example of professional and extensive classroom use of the Internet we would like to present what Dr. Chris Toulouse urbsoc@earthlink.net , an assistant professor at Hofstra University, has accomplished. Chris teaches urban sociology by also teaching his students to prepare their own web pages and make city profiles on the web. In using his methods, Chris says, students have much to gain because they are learning about cities and at the same time acquiring searching, site-reading, and page-making skills. The state of campus labs, student computer phobia, and colleagues misgivings about the academic utility of web-based work are among the hurdles that must be overcome. Working solutions to all these problems can be found through Chris's online mini-course called

The Human Connection | Educational Technology | NW Education that human connections provide the foundation for teaching and learning. On internet safety I talk to students about getting into sites that http://www.nwrel.org/nwedu/spring_98/article10.html
Extractions: Tears are a part of fifth grade. So when Randall sits wiping his flushed cheeks while the rest of the class digs into their book bags, teacher Pam Lloyd kneels by his side. It's a matter of homework turned in late. In Lloyd's class at Kincaid Elementary School, there are consequences for breaking the rules. But there are also opportunities to set things right. A few soft-spoken words and a hand on the shoulder, and Randall is back in the action. Like any good teacher, Lloyd strives for balance in her teaching. Discipline and fair play. Expectations and choices. At the center lies a conviction that human connections provide the foundation for teaching and learning. With its powerful communication capabilities, the computer has become one of Lloyd's most valuable tools in facilitating these connections. But it requires balancing, too. Technology's effectiveness in the classroom, she says, is only as good as the teacher and her relationship with her students. "The computer is a tool," says Lloyd. "The human part is what really makes the classroom. If I had a choice between the two, I could do without the computer, but I could not do without the human interaction. That's what makes the bond between teaching and learning." When a teacher integrates technology into good instructional practices, says Lloyd, she gains a new dimension to her teaching that can help motivate and engage many of today's students.

Extractions: By Barrett Mosbacker Almost every batch of mail brings advertisements urging me to buy books, videos, or software aimed at helping students get on the Internet. Part of me resents the deluge and wants to tell the advertisers that our school has been zooming along the information superhighway for several years now, thank you very much. But another part of methe same part of me that's tempted to test-drive a BMW when my old Honda is running just finewants to read the books, watch the videos, and try out the new software. I justify my curiosity by telling myself that an educator's mind must always be open. So with an open mind, I recently succumbed to curiosity and tried out several dozen products aimed at helping students and teachers use the Internet. Much of what I tried was awfultoo simplistic, too confusing, or just plain irrelevant. But some of the stuff was great. Here are my favorites, with caveats:
English Teachers, Prepare Yourselves For The Digital Age As an English teacher, my internet connection back in 1992 meant that I could us is getting more and more effective, which improves our teaching and http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~tanguay/english-teachers.htm
Extractions: Teaching English in the Network Age is an ongoing series of articles written by Edward Tanguay for the English Language Teachers' Association Berlin-Brandenburg. The purpose of this series is to alert English teachers of the exponential growth of the Internet and the coming impact this will have on the profession of English teaching, and to give English teachers specific advice on how to develop habits now which will allow them to improve their effectivity in an increasingly networked world. English Teachers, Prepare Yourselves for the Digital Age May 16, 1997 Article No. 1 In this article, Edward draws on his experience of English teaching and Internet consulting to discuss the future of English teaching as the world enters an increasingly digital age. This article was written for English teachers who have a growing sense that the Internet is becoming more and more important for their professional careers. It tells them why the Internet is important to their profession, what they can expect in the years to come, and how they can prepare themselves as English teachers in the digital age. On a spring day in 1992 in Philadelphia, I pressed my Enter key and listened to the familar string of tones from my modem as it logged into the Temple University computer. This was nothing new for someone who had grown up with computers. But this day was one I will never forget: it was first day I ever logged into the Internet.

Extractions: Today, one dot.com boom and one dot.bust later, much that is said here is now taken for granted. What is worth noticing is how little the paradigm What will begin to change the paradigm? My suspicion (October 2001) is that wireless handheld devices (like the little Blackberry palm-filler that I read e-mail on surreptitiously during business meetings) will change people's habits noticeably but not as much as the original net invasion did. What lies beyond? What indeed. At Penn, more faculty than ever use many of these tools. In 1999, we put together a campus-wide project, also called "New Tools for Teaching," which brought together faculty and staff from all twelve of Penn's schools to design a common environment for the most current tools of technologically assisted teaching and learning. That project maintains a website which all readers of these pages should explore. For now, we use "Blackboard", and guests may see part of what we do at http://courseweb.upenn.edu
