Kasper, Ph.D. Associate Professor of English Kingsborough Community College/CUNY Brief Abstract PROJECT DESCRIPTION Introduction I have been researching the effects of sustained content study for a number of years (Kasper, 1994; 1997), and my recent work has concentrated on how the Internet may be used to facilitate and enhance a specific activity which I call "focus discipline research" (Kasper, 1998; forthcoming-b). In this activity, students choose a focus discipline from among several content areas studied in the ESL course, and using the Internet as an informational resource, pursue sustained and independent study of that discipline over the semester, producing three progressive written reports and a research project (see Appendix). The focus discipline activity has yielded a number of educational benefits to my students, including higher pass rates on reading/writing assessments (92%), increased motivation, and greater confidence in their ability to handle academic tasks (as evinced by responses to feedback questionnaires). Although the Internet has enormous potential as an informational resource, its real potential lies in its ability to facilitate the sharing of information through international and intercultural communication. It is the goal of the proposed study to explore that potential through a content-based Internet project that will engage ESL students at CUNY in collaborative focus discipline research with students in a college or university in another state or country. This project will enable students to develop and refine language skills and to practice and hone academic research skills. The project will also develop students' networking skills as they participate via the Internet in a content-based intercultural exchange, sharing information and discussing interdisciplinary issues with students across the country/world.

CiTE Call for Proposals Through its annual conference, CiTE creates opportunities for all leading thinkers in eLearning to convene in a collaborative and collegial atmosphere and share questions, wisdom, and best practices. The third annual conference, "Rethinking (e)Learning for the 21st Century: Success Stories, Best Practices and Viewpoints" , invites the experienced and the novice to explore the ramifications of technology in academia, especially as early adopter revolutions continue to spread through the mainstream, and as the body of literature on the criteria for quality in the virtual and the traditional classroom grows. The focus for the conference is on understanding quality in the eLearning environment, what the potential of eLearning is, and how indelibly eLearning will influence what we understand about traditional classroom learning. In this spirit, CiTE invites presentation proposals from faculty and administrators for our ten focus areas. Formats for presentations can include individual presentations, panel presentations, roundtable discussions, case studies, and poster sessions. Proposal Submission Requirements: Focus Area, Title, and Fifty Word summary of session. If accepted, the session summary will be used for the conference website and proceedings.

Flex Your Classroom’s Collaborative Muscles by Bonnie Jackson Classroom Teacher • Langley Meadows Community School (K-7) • Langley, British Columbia MultiMedia Schools • September/October 1999 Zebu, in a Nutshell Zebu resides on a server and is accessed via any standard Web browser. Students first log in with a password to either view a project or build one. Projects comprise three elements: templates, pages, and reference collections. Templates, like a typical lesson plan, provide the overall framework for a series of learning activities. Created by the teacher, a template supplies all project instructions, such as posing questions for students to address. It also serves as the basis for student pages, who need only to edit a template to build their page. Pages are the meat of a project. They can include any mix of text, graphics, Web links, discussion areas, audio or video files, and even HTML if you want to get fancy. Simple dialogue boxes guide students and teachers through the process of adding or changing page/template elements. And since the program is server-based, everything gets updated immediately and shared automatically. Reference collections support a project by containing lists of appropriate references and Web links for students to utilize. Teachers can even directly import a bookmark file, which saves a lot of time.

Instead of teaching technology skills to teachers, GenY trains students to partner with teachers to improve teaching and learning. Along with educators, students become agents of change, not mere recipients of change. The class has been implemented in grades 4-12, with the majority of participating students in grades 6-8. The core of the program is the GenY course, taught by a coordinating teacher and offered as an 18-week class in secondary schools or a 30-week class in elementary schools. GenY students are trained in computing and telecommunications skills for the purpose of helping rebuild the curricular units in their school so that teachers, administrators, and all students can make better use of modern technology. GenY students also receive training and coaching on communication and collaboration with teachers, project planning and management, standards-based curriculum development, and effective presentation of information to learners. Coordinating teachers participate in a one-day training workshop.

Teachers who have been integrating video conferencing into the curriculum have contributed their ideas and suggestions. I hope this collection will inspire you to use video-conferencing not just as a novelty or a free-time activity with your students, but as an integrated, focused part of those all-important lessons that keep you in the teaching profession.

It was hard to find another school to connect with that taught Indonesian at a similar level. Purpose of the project: To allow students to use their Indonesian in a realistic setting and to develop and practice their vocabulary. Result of the project: An enjoyment of dialogue exchange What did your students learn and how did you assess it? To use their Indonesian well so that others would understand them. To listen carefully to others, to get the correct message. Assessed correct use of vocabulary (Indonesian teacher watching) and manner/skills in using video conferencing.

Teaching an Online Course Most importantly, students in an online section depend on conferencing software, email, voicemail, and other asynchronous modes of communication for the true core of the course, the interaction they have with each other and with the instructor. Of course, students cannot simply raise a hand to ask a question as they would in a classroom. Email and conferencing software more than make up for this lack, since having to type out a question forces more reflection before posting it. In addition, thanks to the 24x7x365 availability of the Web, a student need never miss a vital discussion. Finally, the potential for collaborative work and small-group discussions among students who may never meet face-to-face is what makes Web-based courses so exciting and so powerful an educational format. How does this all come together in practice? Here's a step by step example of what happens once the instructor and her institution have decided to use a course from ISI, accompanied by a figure to illustrate the concepts being discussed: 1) School licenses courseware from ISI.

The Teaching American History grant ($962,038) will fund a three-year professional development program for middle and high-school American history teachers. The ETHS project will involve teachers from many of the 21 school districts in the Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN), including the high school and elementary districts in Evanston and Oak Park as well as experts from Northwestern University, The Newberry Library and the Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago. The project will consist of three summer institutes hosted at Northwestern, beginning in 2004, where teachers will focus on the essential questions, themes and issues of American history, and a year-long Historians-in-Residence program, where teachers collaborate with University professors through classroom observations and workshops led by period specialists.
