Dear
Ms. Bowens:
I read your article “Research, Analysis, Communication: Meeting Standards with Technology”
in the May 2000 issue of Learning & Leading with Technology. I was
impressed with the article and more excited as I visited the Web site.
I
work as a technology consultant for an intermediate agency
serving 31
school districts in southwest Iowa. As part of my job, I will be
training
teachers this summer in the integration of technology into their
classes.
I
was able to view and print the sample lesson—Traveling the
Santa
Fe Trail—from the Web site and really liked the format. It
looks
simpler than the WebQuest format and would be a better starting
point
for teachers as they start to prepare Web-based lessons.
When
I tried to view more of the lessons, I ran into the following
problem:
Selecting Pilot Databank or Global Databank—I needed to
know a keyword
that would be in the title; I was able to find one lesson by
typing in
the word “mathematics.”
Can
you send me a list of the available lessons or some of the
keywords that
would allow me to find more lessons.
I
plan to have the teachers that are in my classes this summer
write lesson
plans using this format.
Thanks,
Don
