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 who are in my classes this
summer
write lesson plans using this format.
Thanks,
Don Tischer
