Extending the Classroom Walls Electronically |

This web site gives you the opportunity to preview (and, after Jan. 28, to
review) the information for our workshop. This workshop will look at one form of
technology, electronic communication, that I think can be particularly valuable in
enhancing our students' learning. I want to use this web site to model how electronic
communication can be used effectively in classes, and how a course page can be a
pedagogically effective use of technology.
In the frame to the left, I have provided some links for our workshop. The first gives a brief outline of the workshop.
Next comes a set of links to the virtual "handouts" that we'll be using during our workshop. We probably won't have time to use all of them, but they will be here if you want to look at them later. I'm planning on the workshop being (almost) paperless, so "handouts" isn't exactly accurate, but I couldn't come up with a better name for them--back in the dark ages (last month) I would have actually photocopied all of these and distributed them at the workshop. We'll see how this works.
Next is a link to my Principles of Learning and Behavior page, which we'll be using as a sample of a course page. Next comes three links to articles/chapters on technology that I've written recently.
The last three links are to examples of Virtual Communal Spaces for those who want to do some exploring of this technology.
