NHSTE Super Thursdays: One Computer to Alaska
NHPTV Classroom (Durham) will be the host site for broadcast to
the GSDLN sites.
Presented by two teachers - Jaci Gagne (formerly Allentown) and
Norma Gray (Portsmouth).
Using the Iditarod dog sled race as the main theme, teachers can
use one computer or more to integrate technology across the curriculum.
During this 2-week live adventure in Alaska, you can meet state
standards, build character and citizenship, explore careers, include
special needs students, and have lots of fun. During the workshop,
you will review working Internet sites and will take home teacher
prepared materials for the Iditarod experience.
A Year With Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill, about Alaska in 1948,
is read in the 4th grade at Dondero School, Portsmouth. During this
workshop, you will learn how you can integrate technology into the
present-day curriculum by teaching reading from this book as an
example.
Target audience: classroom teachers, preservice education students
and faculty.
Standard: NETS*T II

system. The GSDLN sites used for these workshops include NHPTV Classroom
(Durham), Merrimack Valley High School (Penacook), SERESC (Bedford),
Nashua High School (Nashua), Woodsville High School (Woodsville),

NHSTE Super Thursdays: Integrate Technology While Supporting the
NH Frameworks
The MarcoPolo web portal contains dynamic lesson plans, original
subject area content, links to top educational websites, a search
engine, and numerous rich resources. NHDOE's Office of Educational
Technology has partnered with the MarcoPolo web portal to help teachers
use these rich educational resources in multiple curriculum areas:
the Arts, Economics, Geography, Humanities, Mathematics and Science.
The lesson plans on this web portal are being integrated into the
NHEON website where they are correlated with the New Hampshire Frameworks.
This hands-on session, covering both the MarcoPolo and NHEON websites,
will excite the participants with the possibilities of new learning
explorations.
Target audience: classroom teachers, preservice education students
and faculty.

Learning Objects.A collection of link, presentations
and publications about learning objects, the SCORM and the Advanced
Learning Initiative. "A new model for digital learning--one
in which learning content is free from proprietary "containers,"
can flow among different systems and be mixed, reused, and updated
continuously--is inching closer to reality. At the center of this
new model is the learning object, the modular building block that
allows such a dynamic approach to managing e-learning content",
explains Tom Barron in his article about learning objects.

Issues in Distance Learning
This review of literature and current information related to distance
learning deals with several primary research issues. These include
redefining the roles of partners in distance education teams, technology
selection and adoption, design issues, methods and strategies to
increase interactivity and active learning, learner characteristics,
learner support, operational issues, policy and management issues,
equity and accessibility, and cost/benefit tradeoffs. It is intended
as a companion piece to Sherry and Morse's (1995) Needs Assessment
for Distance Education.
