All, Peter Milbury approved this posting. Take an online course in your PJs! CyberBee and IITSCO join forces to offer new online courses! CyberBee has a full history of providing rich Internet resources for educators and has recently expanded their offerings to include online classes. Instructional Technology Services of Central Ohio (ITSCO) offers online classes that allow you to work at your own pace with guided instruction and assistance from an ITSCO consultant. It's that simple. All you need is a computer and Internet access! The courses will run from 2/1/06 - 2/28/06 (4 weeks). Registration is due by Friday, 01/27/2006. Two hours of graduate credit are available from Ashland University (Ohio). Course offerings: 1. Everyday Artifacts: Using Primary Sources in the Classroom While rummaging in grandma's attic, have you ever discovered a box of old photographs and marveled at the images, never to know who is pictured? Or found old newspapers, magazines, or sheet music and wondered how they survived the ravages of time? Imagine seeing the hand-written journal entry of Walt Whitman's observations of the wounded at the Battle of Antietam or viewing the only known picture of Lincoln at Gettysburg. Now you can reconnect with our nation's history through the many online collections presented by libraries, organizations, and museums. This course will explore history from the hand-written documents of the founding fathers to the social and cultural landscape of a growing nation. In words, pictures, and sounds, primary sources offer us the unique opportunity to dig through all sorts of original artifacts and bring living history into our classrooms. $350 per student includes 2 semester hours of graduate credit 2. Who Dunnit? Forensic Science as Inquiry Forensic science is the study of objects that relate to a crime. The objects are evidence and analyzing the evidence is what forensic scientists do. They observe, classify, compare, use numbers, measure, predict, interpret data, and draw inferences. Scientists they are and crimes they solve. Forensic Science is a perfect way to teach students inquiry. Participants in this class will solve a mystery and gain ideas for creating their own Who Dunnit mystery. $350 per student includes 2 semester hours of graduate credit For a registration form and more information contact: http://www.itsco.org/pd/olc.html or http://www.cyberbee.com/cblearning.html Linda C.
