Extractions: April 1, 2001 If you're looking for some ways to use computers and the Internet in your classroom or computer room, then you could consider collaboration with a museum, an online expedition, another school or classroom. In this article, I'll share three collaboration examples and I hope that these examples will spark and generate new ideas for collaboration in your own classroom. Opportunities abound, and a simple e-mail may begin a wonderful journey. Collaboration with a Museum Museums, have always shared collections of everything from mummies to spiders, to art, to types of vegetation. They are now faced with the need to take what they do and transform it to the digital world, and yet maintain contact with patrons. After all, a museum without patrons, is just a warehouse. Computers and the Internet are breathing new life into some of the oldest museums in the world. How does one go about finding a museum for collaboration? Well, a simple e-mail to the museum's education representative is a great start. There are some wonderful museums in the area where I teach, but one does not have to remain local to collaborate. I was lucky enough to receive an e-mail about three years ago from a division of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, in Chicago, asking me if I was interested in taking a look at an online program they were launching, called " States of Science " from the

Extractions: Well I think in the past in the beginning, teachers had a short experience that usually lasted about ten weeks in the spring of the year so they were coming into classrooms that were already up and going, that were running, and those of us who went through that kind of teacher education program had a real rough time when we got to our own first year of teaching because we had no idea what had happened in the beginning of the year, to get that classroom up and going, how expectations, rules, procedures had gotten established. My beginning teaching experience was also limited in the actual amount of teaching I did. You know, gradually someone let me begin teaching a little bit, but I didn't truly feel responsible and accountable for what happened in that classroom.

Extractions: Teaching Parents to Teach Their Children to Be Prosocial Strategies teachers can use to teach parents to teach their children to be prosocial are described. These strategies include teaching incidentally, performing social skills autopsies, coaching emotions, and assigning homework. Issues to be considered when working with parents and children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are addressed. We propose that by having parents as partners in the instructional process, students will better generalize prosocial skills across situations, settings, and individuals. In their now classic article, Stokes and Baer (1977) described strategies proven to promote generalization of skills across settings, situations, and individuals: Teach students social skills in settings where the skills will be used. If teaching social skills in the natural setting is not possible, we can use role playing to reflect a variety of settings or teach children to self-monitor their use of skills across settings. We can also recruit teachers and parents to prompt, teach, and reinforce use of appropriate social skills. Teach social skills that are valued in the natural setting.

Extractions: Educational Technology Expert Panel: Exemplary and Promising Educational Technology Programs 2000 Generation www.Y Exemplary Program Program Description Generation www.Y (GenY), started in 1996, focuses on today's new generation of youth as partners, and often leaders, in bringing technology into the classroom. 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. The GenY course is supported by an extensive curriculum guide, student workbook, CD-ROM, and videotape, all developed during the first 2 years of the program. Participants also have access to an online database of previous project descriptions, a planning database with facilities for aligning projects with state standards, and an online system staffed by content-area experts who provide feedback to students on their developing projects.
Extractions: Q: What if my school does not allow individual email accounts? A: Students do not have individual e-mail accounts in many schools. In these situations students write their messages with a word processing software. The letters are saved on a disk; then sent as an attached file to the teacher in the other location. Another option is to cut-and-paste the letters to an e-mail template to form one large letter to be sent to the other school. The recipient then prints the letters or saves them as individual text files. Q: My district uses Internet protection software that prohibits some free email sites because they also include chat rooms. Also, our students do not have email addresses for school as do the teachers. Besides Yahoo and Excite, how else can students get free email accounts to use for school?
