[Josephine Dervan <rderva@injersey.com>]

Dear Heidi and all:

Yes computers in the classrooms of "unenlightened" teachers can be a
tremendous waste. I am currently taking a course on creating online
courses and one of the problems that we have been grappling with is the
need to get "resistant" staff to use the computers effectively rather
than as a babysitter. The answer seems to be a combination of mandatory
training and effective modeling by those early innovators who use
computers successfully in their classroom. My final project is an online
course for my district staff about developing collaborative Internet
projects in the K-8 classroom. I'm hoping to have it online by this
fall.

Jo
