Highway 1 Homeroom Project:
No other place like this exists in all of cyberspace. The Homeroom
Project brings together education, business, and government to transform
the possibilities of educational technology into realities.
Learning with
ISLA (Information System for Los Angeles):
ISLA is designed to maximize access to a critical mass of
interdisciplinary data about Los Angeles in multiple formats. It
involves two components: (1) a library of multidisciplinary digital
materials (texts, photographs, quantitative data, and other
formats) about the Los Angeles region; and (2) a specific search and
retrieval method involving a space/time/full-text/format
index.
"Oyez. Oyez. Oyez.": A WWW Supreme
Court Resource: Our objective is to provide information about major
constitutional cases heard and decided by the Supreme Court of the United
States. In addition to details about the questions and opinions in these
cases, we shall provide digital recordings of the Court's proceedings. The
Court began to record its public sessions in October 1955. You can expect
to see hundreds of cases on this web site -- and listen to hundreds of
hours of digital audio -- as we build our project. We are digitizing these
recordings of oral arguments and opinion announcements from sources in the
National Archives. We will serve them to you as RealAudio, including many
files in RealAudio 2.0 format. We shall also add files in the latest
RealAudio 3.0 format, which should improve playback quality significantly.
Be sure you have the latest RealAudio software!
Teaching with
Electronic Technology:
The World Wide Web sites collected on this page are intended to reflect my
interest in the considerable variety of uses for
computing and related forms of electronic technology in teaching. I have
arranged them in no strict order, but have tried to
proceed from the more general and theoretical resources to some
instructive examples of specific applications of technology
to teaching and learning. Like many other websites, this one tends to
change and grow as I find time to revise and update
these resources. I am grateful to those who have made suggestions and
introduced me to additional sites on teaching with
technology.
The Valley of the
Shadow Project: A Digital Archive of Northern and Southern Community Life
in the Civil War:This is the gateway into the story of the Civil War
as seen by the people of two communities in the Great Valley of the
United States: Franklin County, Pennsylvania and Augusta County, Virginia.
This project weaves together the histories of these two places, separated
by a few hundred miles and the Mason-Dixon Line.
What you see here is the first of three installments. This section of the
project covers the late 1850s and early 1860s, focusing on the years
between John Brown's raid in October 1859 and the beginning of the Civil
War in April 1861. Future sections will discuss the war itself, and then
the effects of Emancipation and Reconstruction on these two communities.
The VRoma Project: A Virtual
Community for the Teaching of Classics: VRoma can be conceptualized in
two distinct ways. We hope that it will function as both: an on-line
"place," modeled upon the ancient city of Rome, where students and
instructors can interact live, hold courses and lectures, and share
resources for the study of the ancient world, and a collection of and
filter for internet resources, which will be accessible in a variety of
formats for individual learning, research and perusal. These extendible
and customizable resources will include texts, commentaries, images, maps
and other materials. Students and instructors will also have the
option of customizing materials to suit their own reading levels and
curricula.
