Technology in Schools

[Donna Baumbach 407-823-2056 <BAUMBAD@MAIL.FIRN.EDU>]

*Educational Technology:  Initiatives and Innovations* is the title of a
forthcoming publication by Dr. William Bozeman and me.  The book is
designed to answer the question:  "What are some of the successful programs
and practices which utilize educational technology in schools today?"
Programs may be large or small.  They may involve a few students or
teachers, an entire school or even an entire district.  They may utilize a
single technology or a wide range of educational technologies may be
represented.  However, the programs should be successful (by some measure)
and considered worthy of replication elsewhere.

Technology  and school library media contacts in all 50 state departments
of education were invited to nominate innovative programs in their states.
The nominees have been surveyed, and some of the best will be included in
the book.  We are now asking for self-nominations.  We are particularly
interested in nominations from school library media specialists,
administrators, and technology coordinators. If you feel you have an
innovative program utilizing educational technologies in your school,
please provide the following information and return via e-mail or snail
mail by July 10, 1994, to:

edited survey before we go to press.  Thank you for your interest.
