AB: Presents a study on the implementation of a constructivist approach to using multimedia technology in two advanced language arts classrooms in a public middle school. Because the principal content consisted of written material, the authors examined pre- to posttest improvement in writing ability as measured by trained raters of essays. Implications of findings from two experiments are discussed. (AEF)

AB: Today's students face a barrage of competing texts in many different forms and media, and it is now up to teachers to help students determine not only "what" should be read but "how" it should be read. This book addresses this issue. The book explores the idea of "textual intelligence"; offers both practical and theoretical information on teaching and reading; and explains how to incorporate the newest ideas and techniques into actual classroom practice. It also presents an argument on teaching what students will need to know, and be able to do, in the future. Each chapter has a clear focus--e.g., Reading the World; Reading the Internet; Reading Textbooks; Reading a Test; Reading Literature; Reading Information; Reading Images--and all follow a similar format, including background information and rationale, standards connections, questions to ask, classroom connections, elements of the text, and additional resources. Appendixes contain: Works Cited; Evaluating a Web Site; Textbook Evaluation; Reading
Standards across Disciplines; Literacy Time Line; "Reading Reminders" Table of Contents; California Language Arts Content Standards (Grades 9-10); and California Language Arts Standards (Grades 10-11). (NKA)

AB: In this paper, four teacher educators present their ideas about some of the critical induction issues facing graduates of their programs as they begin their careers in secondary schools. A business teacher educator focuses on the ecology of the classroom, structural functions and the political environment, and support networks. An English and language arts teacher educator highlights coherence in the literature curriculum, process-oriented approaches to writing, grammar and usage, and media and technology. A foreign language teacher educator discusses academic standards, grammar wars, isolation and problems of interschool articulation, and foreign language instead of bilingual instruction. A mathematics teacher educator looks at teaching to the levels of the students, issues related to student background, and falling into practice. Common themes that emerge from these discussions include the tension between preparing teachers in general for a wide variety of possible school settings and the distinct
characteristics of specific schools; the influence of assessment (particularly standardized testing) on secondary school teachers; and the impact of beginning secondary school teachers' own biographies on their induction into teaching. (Contains 15 references.) (SM)

DER: Case-Studies; Educational-Policy; Educational-Research; Elementary-Secondary-Education; Foreign-Countries
AB: The clamor to integrate computer-based technologies into curriculum generally, and language and literacy education specifically, is a hallmark of current education policy in many countries. A perceived need for education to keep pace and in "sync" with labor market needs is obviously an important part of the story. Technology and progress have become indissolubly linked in the minds of many parents, students, educators, and policymakers. Expressions of pressure to equip classrooms and the need for teacher professional development to enable them to use the technologies are encountered on an everyday basis in Australia. This paper addresses three main questions: What kinds of differences can be found in different peoples' "ways" with similar computing hardware and software as they pursue social and cultural purposes in a range of settings? Can these differences usefully inform education policy and practice? and Do they have significant implications for language and literacy education specifically? The
paper uses four "snapshots" drawn from larger case studies of computer-mediated practices in different sites; one draws on a year 5 classroom in a country town, while the second and third snapshots depict contrasting ways of producing computer-generated slide show presentations, and the final snapshot focuses on some characteristic ways a group of students from an inner city state school were participating in activities at a nearby community and youth space. It concludes that whatever else is done pedagogically with the new technologies, the aim should be to integrate them into informed practices of critical social literacy. (Contains 29 references.)

DER: Computer-Uses-in-Education; Educational-Technology; Elementary-Secondary-Education; Equal-Education
AB: In the early years of the Internet, there was an expectation that the availability and easy access to online resources of unparalleled abundance would increase educational equity throughout the socio-economic spectrum. In fact, research suggests that patterns of technology access often mirror existing inequalities rather than mitigate them, and if corrective steps are not taken, technology may worsen rather than solve equity disparities. Major obstacles to using the Internet are cost and knowledge of how to use the Internet. Among the educational benefits language arts teachers describe are those involving the development of research skills, integrated learning, interactivity, writing for real purposes and authentic audiences, handling difficult topics in new ways, multicultural learning, and collaborative problem solving. Despite the rapid growth of wired schools, surveys suggest that use of technology to affect classroom practice tends to be limited to small groups of teachers who are excited by th
e potential they believe technology has to motivate their students or to access new sources. Contains 20 references. (RS)

AB: This paper is based on the premise that as computer assisted learning becomes more prevalent, teachers will be required to make decisions as to the quality of the software available for instruction. Assessment guidelines from the The Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Digest No. 79 and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction were used as a starting point, for discussions with three reading consultants, a Reading Recovery teacher trainer, and the coordinator for secondary reading. A 17-point checklist was then developed to be used as an instrument to assess software--a 4-point list presents additional factors to consider on an individual basis. The paper then provides the names and brief descriptions of the following software programs, along with relevant information (publisher, hardware requirements, positives, negatives, and "unknown"): "Little Planet Literacy: Glowbird and Ribbit Collection" (PreK-4); "Imagination Express" (Grades 1-6); "Ellis Intro.ESL" (Grades 7 and

AB: The Copernicus Project is a multi-district effort designed to incorporate technology, specifically the laptop computer, into the instructional and learning process of the public schools. Participants included six school districts in Washington state, the Toshiba and Microsoft Corporations, and parents. The project called for a 1 to 1 student-to-laptop computer ratio, with the computers owned or leased by the students and taken home each night. Three student learning outcomes were established as primary project goals: increased proficiency in technical reading, writing, and presenting; increased competency in the use of information access, data collection, analysis, problem solving, and collaborative research skills; and demonstrated ability to use information technology and understand its uses in society and the workplace. The instructional use of computers was nearly evenly divided between teaching computer skills and programs, and teaching academics using the computer as an educational tool. During
approximately 35% of the classes observed, students were involved in teacher-directed lessons; during 40% of classes, students were involved in independent work; and in 25% of classes, students were involved in teacher-directed activities, followed by independent work. The most frequently used software application was Microsoft Word, followed by Excel and PowerPoint. Writing skills were the most directly affected by the use of laptops, followed by communication and presentation skills. Overall, teachers, parents, and students are generally positive about the project and see the real or potential value of laptops for learning.
