Extractions: Table of Contents Executive Summary Objectives Approach Results ... References Executive Summary: Objectives: Specific objectives are: Through the use of inquiry-based professional development workshops, K-12 educator teams become comfortable with environmental change concepts and data and develop integrated multidisciplinary curriculum. Connect students to their environment by becoming actively engaged in the collection of scientific data. Develop a World Wide Web site that will include data inventories by project and project fact sheets. Develop a steering committee of stakeholders. Employ relevant evaluation tools to continuously improve the program and refine objectives. Approach: This project is an integral part of the ongoing efforts of the Nebraska Earth Science Education Network (NESEN) to use multiple strategies to improve science education (Gosselin et al., 1994, 1995a,b,c, 1996, 1997, 1998). NESEN was created to serve as an interface between K-12 earth science educators and resources and expertise available from university and other scientific organizations. NESEN currently has about 470 members that includes nearly 390 K-12 educators who are primarily from Nebraska, as well as educators from 18 other states, Greece and Belgium. One of NESEN's primary strategies for improving science education is to develop special educational projects such as the one described here.

Extractions: It should take less time to downoad than the gif! C omputer networks are entrenched in business, government, industry and universities, but how are they faring in K-12 schools? A recent report by the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, "Teachers and Technology: Making the Connection," estimates that while 75 percent of public schools in the United States have access to local or wide area networks and other telecommunications and 35 percent have access to the Internet, only 3 percent of instructional rooms (such as classrooms, labs and media centers) are connected to the Internet. Yet, Educational Service Unit #3 (ESU #3) in Omaha, Neb., has defied statistics by providing 19 public school districts in eastern Nebraska with network connectivity and Internet services where one might least expect itin the classroom. ESU #3 is an intermediate service agency funded by the state that provides an array of supplementary educational services to K-12 school districts. ESU #3's functions include computing services and technical support. In this role, it links 90 buildings in a wide area network that spans four counties, 54,000 students, 4,000 teachers and several hundred admi nistrators. "The network exists to give K-12 school systems in Nebraska connectivity to one another and the Internet," says Don Ferneding, systems manager at ESU #3. State law funds Internet services in schools statewide, and ESU #3 has been aggressive in making connectivity a reality for 90 percent of the classrooms in its region using dedicated 56-Kbps links, T1 connections and dial-up services.

Extractions: Educational Technology 2010 Public/Private Partnerships Follow-up Task Group A White Paper: Coordination of Cross -Agency Planning and Public/Private Partnerships NITC Education Council Priority : Provide recommendations that support coordinating statewide education IT efforts and resources, including collaboration with public and private entities. The white paper will include recommendations on preparing students for the 2010 workforce. Overview The purpose of this white paper is to provide recommendations regarding coordinating cross-agency planning and encouraging public/private partnerships. The goal is to prepare Nebraskas youth for the 2010 workforce. It will include recommendations to explore the following areas: Creating tax incentive opportunities for businesses that participate in IT development within Nebraska K-12 schools, including providing instruction to teachers and/or students, technical support, software and hardware, facilities, and teaching materials. Encouraging PreK-20 cooperation and sharing in curriculum development, teacher training, and professional development. While some coordination of public/private partnerships is occurring, business participation and information technology awareness needs to be increased. In order to help facilitate this, bottom-line results need to be positively effected. Helping businesses and agencies address the labor-availability shortage is one way to achieve business and community support. Getting Pre K- 20 educators and students to show businesses, and each other, what their technology needs are, is another way to help effect change. Instead of IT occurring in isolation, it needs to become all encompassing and seamless between education, business and other community entities.

Extractions: Conestoga Magnet Students are not afraid of technology because they are growing up with it incorporated into all aspects of their young lives. Go to the store and you see children talking on cell phones, scanning groceries at self-checkout lanes, or scanning a price check at Target. Walk through any electronic department and you will see children actually showing their parents how to work a computer, a video game or camcorder. Then why do teachers still resist or have difficulty incorporating some of the best teaching tools for learning into their classrooms. Give the student a camcorder for that project instead of paper and pencil and watch him/her bloom and suddenly become interested in researching history or documenting the life cycle of a butterfly. A child who does not want to write a two or three sentence paragraph on paper because they erase so often, cannot stay on the line, or has difficulty controlling a pencil will suddenly write a seven sentence story on an AlphaSmart. Using grant money I am putting AlphaSmart 3000 carts in every third through sixth grade classroom.
