HT&T HyperNews Discussions at STG

Our first HyperNews discussion concerns the first set of selected readings as well as the set of questions discussed at HT&T 1996.

Some questions we want to ask teachers who have used computer networks, and other technologies, to improve their teaching, whether in K-12 or higher education, are:

• What did the technologies allow you to do that you could not do before?
• How did you choose or change and refine the technologies you used in light of your experiences teaching with those technologies?
• How do you measure the results of using technology in your teaching?
• How do you determine when to change the degree or kind of technology you use in the classroom?

Some questions we also wish to pose to researchers concerned with the study of teaching with technology are:

• Why and how should assessment techniques change when technology is introduced in the classroom?
• How should cognitive science research contribute to our evaluation of technologies for teaching?
• What sorts of studies of teaching with technology could be carried out in the next few years, by universities and consortia like NetTech, that would drastically improve the quality of teaching and curriculum, particularly in K-12 settings?

We hope you'll consider joining the discussions.
