During June, Mr. Roden, Computer Department Chair at
the Vernon Public Schools, introduced 15 elementary
students and 6 teachers to the use of WWW for learning
and teaching. The site that he developed through our
workshop gave them a chance to see how they might use
the Internet as a part of their instructional practice. Not
only did they use his site, but went one link back and explored
some of the other projects. They had a blast an, like the kids,
didn't realize that they were learning !
He'll be using somewhat the same approach when he
presents this August at Connecticut Education Association's
Summer Leadership Conference and at the Massachusetts
Education Association (MTA)'s Summer Leadership Conference.
Mr. Roden found that "when I'm working with in
professional development setting with folks that I 'know,'
they respond well when they can 'see' and 'work with' a site
that offers them some degree of familiarity (they know the person
who did it) and personal meaning (they realize that they can really
learn something valuable.)"
After the August sessions, Mr. Roden wrote that "the MTA conference
was
held at Williams College with one of the most incredible multimedia
classroom
that I've ever seen. I've included it as well as your Homepages
and Bookmark sites to show folks what can be done. I had a number of
higher ed folks (particularly N Adams State) in one session and they
were really interested how you're (David
Stoloff) dealing with technology and
pre-service teachers."
from Pam Berardino
I wanted to let you know that I used my "Online Internet Tutor"
for two
different inservice classes last week. It has been attached to my new
school's homepage (www.neca.com/~libcl/)
under faculty pages, so it is easily
accessible. I got a lot of positive comments about it, but more importantly,
I've had teachers come back and ask me questions about it later - so
they are
using it. I'm very excited. I think I am going to add a link to a different
page that has additional resources for those who are past the "newbie"
stage.
In addition, I have Internet access IN THE CLASSROOM (also so
exciting) and
our 8th graders learn html as part of computer. Of course, my class
is going
to learn html as part of 6th grade - but that's OK, they'll be one
step ahead
of the game.
I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to have been part of the
grant. I
thank you and will keep you posted on how I am using it with my class
and in
teaching.
