Subject: Using a Web Page as a resource
The Office of Health and Physical Education, Baltimore County Public
Schools in Maryland is using the Web as a resource for physical
education, health and dance teachers. We are running at least 2
training sessions per month for our teachers to show them how to use
the internet. Our goal is to help teachers utilize technology as a
resource to extend, refine and improve their instruction.
We are developing a web site for our teachers. It changes constantly
as we learn how to make it more effective for our teachers.
Visit our Web page (http://www.bcpl.lib.md.us/~squinn/) and continue
to encourage educators to use technology. Good Luck

FIRST TECHNOLOGY LITERACY GRANTS RELEASED
President Clinton released yesterday the first installment of a $200-million
grant program to put computers and Internet connections in schools, and to
provide teachers Internet training. The initial $14.3-million went to
Illinois, Mississippi and New Mexico. In Clinton's weekly radio address, he
cited statistics showing that 65% of schools were connected to the Internet
as of last fall, compared with 35% in 1994. "That's how we must prepare our
children for the 21st century -- with the full promise of the Information
Age at their fingertips," he said. (St. Petersburg Times 9 Feb 97)

EXPERIMENT SHOWS STUDENTS DO BETTER ONLINE
A sociology professor at California State University at Northridge conducted
his own experiment to test online learning, randomly dividing his statistics
class in half, and teaching one half by lecture and the other half by Web
assignments, online discussion groups and e-mail. The students who'd been
banned from the physical classroom scored an average of 20% higher than
those who'd attended in-person. "The motivation for doing this was to
provide some hard, experimental evidence that didn't seem to exist
anywhere," says the prof, who plans to expand his research to determine
whether the online students performed better because they spent more time
collaborating with their classmates, or because of the online format of the
class. (Chronicle of Higher Education 21 Feb 97)

DRUCKER SAYS "UNIVERSITIES WON'T SURVIVE"
Renowned management consultant and author Peter Drucker says: "Thirty years
from now the big university campuses will be relics. Universities won't
survive. It's as large a change as when we first got the printed book. Do
you realize that the cost of higher education has risen as fast as the cost
of health care? ... Such totally uncontrollable expenditures, without any
visible improvement in either the content or the quality of education, means
that the system is rapidly becoming untenable. Higher education is in deep
crisis... Already we are beginning to deliver more lectures and classes off
campus via satellite or two-way video at a fraction of the cost. The
college won't survive as a residential institution. " (Forbes 10 Mar 97)

SCHOLARS PROPOSE STRENGTHENING PEER REVIEW ELECTRONICALLY
An editor at The Journal of the American Medical Association and an adjunct
professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco have
recommended an electronic peer-review system that would allow researchers to
have ready access to all comments related to a particular paper through a
consolidated database. Editors could review readers' comments, request
responses from authors, and update the database on a quarterly basis.
Journals could make publishing a work conditional upon such participation,
and people who submit comments would be required to disclose any conflicts
of interest or affiliations that might affect their response. (Chronicle of

CULTURE CLASHES ON THE INTERNET
At a session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the issue of
censorship on the Internet was debated from East/West perspectives, with the
Eastern view represented by such countries as Singapore, Iran, and Egypt.
Denmark foreign minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen said, "Whenever you want to
stop the free flow of information, you must ask yourself what is possible.
The usual answer from politicians is we need international rules. I say,
forget it. It won't happen." Iranian mathematics professor Mohammed
Lasijani countered: "In the west, the issue is sometimes how to globalise
liberalism: how to export an ideology. I am not a liberal, and I do not
believe liberalism is the only way to a decent life." (Financial Times 4

THE EYES HAVE HAD IT
Tenax Software Engineering has come up with a new tool for managing
information overload -- its Cornix Java applet allows you to read Web pages
with "ease and comfort at speeds of up to 1,000 words per minute." The
Cornix applet displays the text of a Web page one word at a time in
100-point type (almost 1-1/2 inches high), eliminating the side-to-side eye
scanning that can cause eye fatigue. Tenax reports that most people double
their reading speed almost as soon as they start using Cornix, with average
person, reading about 240 words per minute, increasing to nearly 500 wpm.
Tenax claims some enthusiastic readers have even reached "warp" speeds of
8,000 or so wpm. (Information Week 27 Jan 97)

ORACLE DEVICE CAN FINGER HACKERS
Oracle is marketing a palm-sized biometric security device that compares a
user's finger prints to sets stored in a central database before allowing
access to a computer. The $500 unit, made by Sunnyvale, Calif.-based
Identix, "is the ultimate in security, because it doesn't depend on what you
know, but what you are," says Identix's CEO. The device can discern a real
finger from a wax model, or from a glove with someone else's print on it,
because a collection of sensors track blood flow, blood pressure and other
signals as part of the identification process. (Wall Street Journal 10 Feb 97)
