K-12 COMMUNITY:  NYSERNET WINTER/SPRING TRAINING CATALOG AVAILABLE

After a successful fall series of courses, NYSERNet, Inc. announces the
availability of the NYSERNet Internet Training and Education Center --
NITEC -- Winter/Spring Training Catalog.  NITEC, operating year-round,
offers a full schedule of seminars and hands-on workshops for beginning,
intermediate, and advanced Internet users and technical staff.  We have
expanded our course offerings for the winter and spring, and are also
offering evening versions of some of our most popular courses for those who
can't attend a single full day session.

We offer the courses in Internet basics you'll need to get started using
the Internet, and two intermediate level courses aimed specifically at
integrating Internet use into the K-12 curriculum:

320 INTEGRATING THE INTERNET INTO YOUR CURRICULUM
This team-based, hands-on workshop for education professionals provides
participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively
integrate the vast resources of the Internet into the teaching and learning
process. Participants will team up to design educational projects that
incorporate Internet information resources then "surf the net" to locate,
retrieve, and integrate information for their project. An excellent way to
start planning how to integrate the Internet into your curriculum in the
95/96 school year!
