Go to Profiler New in 2002: Ripple Effects Teaching Coach Ripple Effects is excited to introduce Teaching Coach , an engaging multimedia learning tool that helps teachers quickly identify barriers to student achievement via interactive profiles, then get coaching in effectively individualizing teaching to reach them. This comprehensive 60 topic program addresses four areas that are critical to teacher success: learning issues, behavior issues, socio-cultural issues, and social-emotional issues. It's a scaleable way to quickly enable educators to tease out one from the other, and efficiently address each of them with a combination of technical skill and emotional intelligence. And, it's a professional development program teachers can use when, where, and how they want, 24/7, privately, for ten minutes as issues arise, and systematically over weeks or months. There are two parts to the program. A series of simple, short

Teaching With Templates (Published in the TechEdge, 1999-2000) by Wesley A. Fryer www.wesfryer.com It is amazing how easy it is to waste time on a computer. Whether a student or a teacher, computer users can literally spend hours fruitlessly searching the internet, changing fonts or sizes, slowly keyboarding in text, or searching for a document they thought they saved in the proper folder instead of completing the task at hand. Just as an experienced driver does not focus principally on the mechanics of shifting and checking for traffic when they are behind the wheel, literate computer users should not spend too much time on the technical aspects of technology tools. Like a driver, computer users should focus on the destination where they are traveling, rather than on the tool helping them get there. To help both students and teachers avoid getting bogged down in the technical details of completing a task with technology, educators can create "template" files that streamline and expedite the document and presentation production process. A "template" is a partially created document, saved in a format that allows multiple users to open separate copies of it at the same time.

Chances are, if you are travelling the Information Highway at this point in time, then you are either already teaching other teachers to use telecomputing tools (formally or informally), or are planning to do so soon. What you may have already discovered is that this kind of "inservice training" is different. Why? The nature of the tools and their potential uses is different. Whether teachers will choose to use telecomputing innovations for professional development and/or instructional purposes depends more upon other teachers' use of the tools than upon the characteristics of the innovations themselves.

The study reports that the top three types of content or training delivered using a virtual classroom are: business technical processes and procedure (69%); business process training (67%); and information technology skills (67%). These statistics suggest that technical training using the virtual classroom accounts for a significant proportion of training in the live virtual classroom than professional development or sales training. This finding is not surprising given the power of the live virtual classroom (LVC) for teach technical skills and knowledge. One of the best-kept secrets is the power of the LVC to share software applications. This feature is called application sharing or screen sharing

Proceedings Conference Overview Call for Participation Track Sessions ... itconf@mtsu.edu Seventh Annual Mid-South Instructional Technology Conference The Connected Classroom April 7-9, 2002 Enhancing Classroom Teaching with Online Web-Based Tools By: Raj Desai Ted Loso Interest: General :: Lecture/Presentation :: Level: All Proceeding ABSTRACT Materials developed for a web class, used in the regular classroom, improved classroom delivery significantly. A combination of web material and classroom lecture may be the ideal combination for some subjects. We will show how some of the web tools can be used to your advantage in the regular classroom. University support is vital for web development. We will look at training needs for faculty to offer web-assisted courses. Online grade information, and bulletin boards are generally used with web courses and faculty need training in incorporating these tools in their web-assisted courses. Introduction With the widespread use and the rapid growth of the Internet, educational and training institutions around the globe are racing towards using the Internet as a new medium of delivering information. The world-wide-web is a powerful and exciting medium for communication and as such is a valuable resource for faculty for delivering online information. Its ease of use and the capacity as a repository of information and the interactive delivery of content makes it an effective option for furthering knowledge and skill. The advantage of web-assisted content is that they can easily be reviewed and changed for currency and accuracy compared to textbooks. As the world-wide-web becomes a state-of-the art delivery medium there is a need among educators and trainers to obtain knowledge about the tools needed for developing and implementing web-assisted courses.

Technology in the Shakespeare Classroom Introduction "The school buys all this technology and doesn't tell us what to do with it." "I don't have the time to research and include something new." "The kids don't have convenient computer access." "The students know more about the technology than I do." "Everything's always breaking down!" "Students always end up looking at information of dubious educational value." Perhaps you've heard some of these complaints about technology use in the classroom. Perhaps you've even used one of them yourself. With all that we are trying to achieve in our classrooms, taking the time to thoughtfully integrate the resources and tools technology can add may feel like more effort than we can afford. I came to the Folger with a solid background in Shakespeare and in secondary level teaching, but with very little background in the use of technology in the classroom. The Folger soon made me its technology guru. I've talked with many teachers in similar situations, who have also been assigned to figure out how best to implement new and ever-changing software and hardware in the classroom. While I've struggled with these issues, I've learned the benefits that effective use of technology can bring to a study of Shakespeare. It doesn't take a large effort to start reaping many of these pedagogical rewards. Why Use Technology?

While technologies make it easier for instructors to create learning opportunities, provide prompt feedback, and improve student engagement with content materials, they also pose challenges. Following are some practical guidelines for using technology in teaching. They may help you manage technology-supported teaching more effectively, avoiding some of the common pitfalls. Overheads/PowerPoint Use fonts 24 points or larger for the text. Use dark type and light background for the overhead/slide. Avoid USING ALL CAPS. (The normal use of upper and lowercase characters is easier to read.) Use Italics or color rather than underlining to emphasize a point. (Underlining makes some characters difficult to read.)

Telecommunications in Our Classroom: Boondoggle or a Powerful Teaching Tool? boris_berenfeld@terc.edu TERC, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Abstract The author discusses current trends in educational uses of the Internet. To become an integral part of the learning experience, the Internet should be accepted by a broad audience of teachers, educators, and policy makers. To foster this acceptance, the author suggests a new metaphor-the infosphere-a term that implies the growing unity, interdependence, and accessibility of information produced by humankind. The presentation focuses on selected features of the infosphere that have proven to be of educational value, patterns of their implementations, and the rationale for linking students to the infosphere. Will the information revolution matter to schools? The telegraph, telephone, radio, and television revolutionized the flow of information on Earth, made a global village of our planet, and penetrated into all sectors of society except for one: the school. Recently, the fax machine moved paper as never before and appeared in our homes and businesses, big and small. Yet has anyone heard of fax-based curriculum? Now, as we are in the midst of the widely-heralded Information Revolution based on computer-mediated communications (CMC), will this technologies matter to classrooms? Although the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 mandates advanced telecommunication services be affordable to schools, the legislation alone cannot ensure that CMC technologies will become accepted by educators and parents. History tells a quite different lesson. The Telecommunications Act of 1934 set a national goal of making available "to all people of the United Sates ... communications service with adequate facilities of reasonable charge.." and generally achieved this goal. Ninety four percent of American households have basic telephone services, the highest ratio of the world, but has anybody lately tried to phone to a classroom? Moreover, schools until now have had to pay the same rates for telephone services as businesses.

Ron Hoy: Making novel neuroscience tools for the classroom via CD-ROM Ron Hoy By Susan Lang Neuroscience for high schoolers? Why not, says Cornell neurobiologist Ron Hoy. To prove his point that the subject can be exciting for young people to study, Hoy and a Cornell development team of colleagues and undergraduates have developed a suite of novel, interdisciplinary multimedia teaching tools. The tools for university students and high schoolers were discussed by Hoy at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 20. Drosophila melanogaster , as the experimental model. Modern research has shown that a remarkable number of genes that are linked to human behavioral disorders have their counterparts in the fruit fly, and the CD-ROM explores this relationship. Fruit Fly tackles how genes not only affect physiology and anatomy but also the brain and behavior, such as the role of genetics in neurological diseases, and disorders of the senses such as blindness and deafness as well as problems with learning, memory or susceptibility to recreational drugs. The CD-ROM is modeled on Hoy's successful Project Crawdad, a commercial multimedia CD-ROM that is a lab manual for teaching neurophysiology by using the common crayfish as a model.

There is always the temptation to simply put a video on at the end of term and let our students watch a film without even challenging them to be actively involved. Video as a listening tool can enhance the listening experience for our students. We very rarely hear a disembodied voice in real life but as teachers we constantly ask our students to work with recorded conversations of people they never see. This is often necessary in the limited confines of the language school and sometimes justifiable, for example, when we give students telephone practice. However, we can add a whole new dimension to aural practice in the classroom by using video. The setting, action, emotions, gestures, etc

USING TECHNOLOGY IN A BIOLOGY CLASSROOM Hi! Welcome to our website that explores how technology can be used in a biology classroom. We are two college students Nicole Miller from Bryn Mawr College and Liane D'Alessandro from Haverford College. We are both biolgy majors getting certified to teach biology in grades 7-12. For our Practice Teaching Seminar, we were required to create a website that explained our views on the use of technology in a classroom. Below you will find a table of contents that will guide you through our website. We hope the information is helpful to you! Enjoy! Table of Contents Our General Philosophy On Technology in the Classroom Specific Uses of Technology in the Classroom technology other than computers CD-Roms and web based student projects ... Links to Useful Biology Sites Our General Philosophy on the Use of Technology in the Classroom As we think about whether to use technology in the classroom, we must decide what counts as technology. There are various uses of technology; some are straightforward and do not require much consideration in terms of whether it's best to use them. Others, which are more recent forms of technology, require deeper consideration as to how to use them most effectively. In general, as long as technology is balanced with the teaching of social and traditional academic skills, it has the potential to revitalize a classroom by appealing to different intelligences in students so that learning is more effective. Examples of technology that are relatively simple include overhead projectors and televisions. Then there are slightly more advanced uses of technology such as lab equipment (microscopes, kits for testing water quality, kits for sequencing DNA etc.). While each of these tools can be very effective in a biology classroom (see section on "Specific Uses" below), they are examples of technology that do not require much thought into how to use them most effectively. On other hand, the hot area of technology nowadays, the COMPUTER, does require careful consideration about how to use it most benefically in the classroom. Below, we examine the issues surrounding computer use.
