http://www.gsh.org/wce

1) ENTER THE 'WEB SITES THAT WORK' CONTEST:

Submit your favorite web site (for classroom use or professional
development) into our Teachers=92 Choice contest and if it=92s accepted, yo=
u=92ll
be eligible to win a prize in a random drawing. Prizes for April are from
Claris: two copies each of ClarisWorks, FileMaker Pro, and Claris Home Page
-- so there are six chances to win.

2)  TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE:=20

We=92re getting technology into classrooms and wiring all the schools. But
what happens "After the Schools are Wired"? Join author Howard Rheingold in
the on-line Forum and discuss the varying quality of information, the
dangers of using old models, what the opportunities are with new models,
and how to move into the future.

3)  EARN SO OTHERS CAN LEARN:=20

There are two ways to earn a stipend by writing about what you do in the
classroom.

Are you involved with technology for teaching and learning? Share your
experiences by writing a full-length article for The Well Connected
Educator. ($100.00 stipend)

OR

Write a short piece on how you use specific software to teach a concept in
your curriculum. ($50.00 stipend)

4)  READ NEW ARTICLES AND COLUMNS:

You=92ll find a wide range of new articles that answer the questions:

Can an "old sea-dog" learn to sail new waters? =20

Can an email project create friendship links across the generations?

Can computers make language barriers disappear?

Who is best equipped to help students and teachers learn to use a "library
without walls"?

How does a teacher provide help with topics beyond his range of knowledge?

Does television mix well with school work?
