Extractions: Using the Internet As a Teaching Tool Using the internet requires a certain level of reading skill, so may not be appropriate for very young children. Pairing young children with buddies from another grade level may make the internet more accessible. The following sites are rich in information about using the internet as a teaching tool.

Extractions: Volume 1 Number 1 ~ Fall 1998 Teaching Islamic Civilization with Information Technology Corinne Blake N ew types of information technology such as the Internet and CD-ROM can be used to enhance courses in colleges and universities. A large amount of primary material about Islam and Islamic civilizations, for example, is available to students through the Internet, including full texts of the Qur'an in various translations, several collections of Hadith (records of the Prophet Muhammads words and deeds), Shi`i and Sufi religious texts, and classics works of Islamic literature. Since this material is mostly translated, it is of limited interest to advanced graduate students, but it is appropriate for undergraduate courses on Islamic religion, history, and civilization as well as for survey courses in world history. Using material from the Internet provides students with access to primary sources and research material that is often unavailable at smaller institutions. It can also expose students to different points of view within the Muslim community. The challenge for already overextended professors is figuring out how to locate these materials and incorporate them into courses. After reviewing primary source material for teaching Islamic civilization that is available online, I'll discuss methods and issues related to incorporating Internet material into courses.

Extractions: Indianapolis OnLine The following information was compiled by Indianapolis OnLine executive director, Pam Weaver , and appeared in @Internet magazine. A lot of kids are getting online these dayssharing data about acid rain, talking about social issues, meeting adults as well as kids, and learning about other cultures. There seems to be one of everything on the network. Just like any other form of media, the quality of this massive collection of information is uneven and unverifiable, and just like any bookstore, there is both good information and smut. Computer networks hold tremendous promise; however, its also home to people who don't have good intentions, who use their own anonymity to hurt others or their technical knowledge to steal from them. Not only are there unsavory individuals lurking out there in cyberspace, there are whole Web sites waiting to entice the immature, the easily swayed, and the vulnerable. Hate groups, for example, have discovered that the Net is an effective place to reach vast numbers. Some Web pages can teach your kids many useful and fun things, but bomb-making is probably not high on your list of activities for a Saturday afternoon. By now youre shaking your head and pulling out your elected officials phone number, but wait, lets try to the put the problem into perspective. Generally, yes, it's safe for kids to use the Internet. To tell children to stop using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them to forgo attending college because students are sometimes victimized on campus. The number of sites on the Internet considered objectionable is somewhere between 1% - 3% (depending on your definition of "objectionable"), which leaves about 4.5 million other sites which are interesting and educational. Getting to the objectionable material also takes some sophisticated technical know-how. Unlike the bookstore where a child can just walk in and pick up a book from a shelf, the child who downloads pornography from the Internet has as much intention for mischief as the child hiding in the garage with a Playboy magazine in hand.

Extractions: and how a librarian can help. You know how to facilitate student questions, BUT... do you know where to find the answers? A link to a possible answer is still not an answer. Library services go beyond the walls of the library. Libraries can save you time when you are seeking information. Edited materials (books, periodicals, reference, documents) often offer the most accurate and efficient information. And you don't have to search to find the authority or date. Passing up the library may mean you pass up free online resources available 24/7 at your library. You could even end up paying for the same services from another source. The most important sources for students (and those that they often miss) are those the school may already pay for. Iowa provides access for all Iowa public and school libraries to high quality reference materials and journal indexes that you won't find on the free Internet. Still feeling overwhelmed? Here's an

CONTACT by Judie Haynes After the events of September 11th, school districts all over the U.S. received a powerful letter from Secretary of Education Ron Paige in which he asked schools to help prevent harassment of students based on their ethnicity or religion. Here are 25 internet resources which offer great ideas and lesson plans for teaching about peace, tolerance and respect for diversity. Ron Paige's letter states in part: I urge you to make sure that assemblies, classroom discussions, and other school activities held to honor victims of the tragedies do not inadvertently foster the targeting of Arab-American students for harassment or blame. Encourage students to discuss diversity constructively and to express disagreement over ideas or beliefs in a respectful manner. Have a system in place to intervene if particular students exhibit feelings or conduct that could endanger others. Encourage all students to report threats of racial or ethnic harassment. Through our words and the example of our own conduct, we must remind our children that harassment of and violence toward any individual because of his or her race or national origin is never acceptable. In addition, we must emphasize during this difficult time in our nation's history that our feelings of anger and sadness must not be directed at innocent Arab Americans, or other individuals having no connection to last week's events. Working together, we can make sure that our children get a good education in a safe environment that does not tolerate violence and hatred.

Extractions: Lone Eagles Learn to "Teach from any Beach!" Galena, Alaska is a Native Alaskan village of 300 persons on the banks of the Yukon river, hundreds of miles from the nearest road system. Last year, the Galena City School district announced a K12 correspondence program " Interior Distance Education for Alaska, (IDEA http://www.galenaalaska.org ),"offering loaner computers and an annual subscription to Internet. 3000 students signed up from all over Alaska, representing 1,700 families, making the Galena school district suddenly the seventh largest school district in the state. 116 teachers were hired to assist these homeschooling students in a program of online mentorship and brokerage of the best Internet learning resources available. Last December, the Alaska Staff Development Network http://www.asdn.org ) hosted a leadership retreat titled " Online Learning; Implications for School Leaders " where many of the administrators who lost students to Galena attended. Discussions were held on the viability of creating a district’s own online courses, or brokering the best of what’s already available. With limited access to Internet at school, where students spend 19% of their time, the enthusiasm for a modern multimedia computer and home-based Internet access 100% of the time was understandable. There was no debate as to whether the benefit to students should come first.

Robert Wood Powerpoint Presentation for Prof. Goertzel's Class Introduction: From URLS to Pedagogy Putting Students to Work on the Internet Introduction: From URLS to Pedagogy Like many teachers, I have been inundated with books, articles, and exhortations about the educational importance of the internet that frequently turn out to be little more than lengthy lists of web page addresses (URLs). What is often missing is any clear identification of the new pedagogical opportunities that the internet offers. As one who has been experimenting with a broad range of internet projects and activities for close to ten years, I offer the observations below about what I have learned from my own experience and from the experience of others.

Extractions: Home Site Map Contact A version of this article appeared in HR Magazine , the publication of the Society for Human Resource Management, July, 1998 issue. Vicky Phillips Back to Articles Online Universities Teach Knowledge Beyond the Books Cotton, who is almost done with his degree, travels less these days, but continues to study online with CSU. Brick-and-mortar evening degree programs operate within commute distance of Cotton’s office but they lack the convenience he seeks. "Even though I travel less, getting out of the office by 6:45 any particular night, and to a physical classroom, is not always easy or possible," comments Cotton. Carron Albert, who attends Thomas Edison State College’s online master’s in management program, frequently does her homework after her two children are taken care of in the evening. She then e-mails her papers to faculty mentors and her study team members. "With my work and life schedule," comments Albert, "there is very little time left in my day for going to school." Like Cotton, Albert, who is Associate Vice President of Administration and Finance at Thomas Edison State College in Trenton, N.J., could commute to a graduate school that offers classes in the evening or weekends, but she has chosen instead to telecommute to a virtual campus. Top The Future Is Flexible Dr. Jo Ann Oravec, author of "Virtual Individuals, Virtual Groups: Human Dimensions of Groupware and Computer Networking" (Cambridge University Press), is not surprised that business executives are attending desktop universities. "Online learning will soon be a major force in certain kinds of education," predicts Oravec, "graduate education, especially at the MBA level, is one of these." Oravec sees a tremendous need for more flexible learning options in today’s knowledge economy. "For people with demanding and erratic work schedules, and demanding responsibilities at home, flexible learning provides a tremendous opportunity."
