1. UNICEF: Puppets with a purpose
   "The puppet maker provides a face, eyes, perhaps some hair and a mouth. The puppeteer provides movement and give the puppet a voice. We see the puppet move, we hear it speak and we are caught up in its world. Instead of wood, papier mache or plastic, we see a character, a hero to cheer or a villain to boo, a tragic figure who can move us to tears or a comic figure who will make us laugh out loud."
2. Bridge of Books
   "A sense of empowerment has been the most extraordinary element in the project. The most powerful books are those that have been created by children commonly regarded as learning disabled or disadvantaged."

    Semi-finalists. Get ready for several hours of enjoyment and exploration. The site is addictive. Each of the pages selected has something to offer for teachers and students interested in the Web and technology. One page I visited on Roman warfare (Victori - The Roman Military) used colour backgrounds in a frames formate to provide a "seamless" integration of parts that were separate (from a HTML viewpoint). Some were the results of collaboration between people and schools that were widely separated geographically. The content sparkles in so many of the pages and the enjoyment and pride in the activity of creation and presentation is clearly evident. I often get personal Email from students involved in the project who want publicity and it is clear that they take great pride in their publications.

Here is a "design" set that could be assigned to groups of students at the start of the semester using an assignment and evaluation rubric. Individual tasks could be designated within each group (eg. one students might assume the task of moving the research further into the Web, another to explore print and visual resources, another to expore the recognition of the event by the media).

    Another effort to communicate a central message via a movie and/or book. The site (which is rather confusing) offers suggestions on how the book/movie can be used.

Teachers (and students) simply do not have time to dig throught layers of pages to obtain information.

(A short series of questions with check boxes and results returned very quickly). Most interesting is a special section on how drinking impacts women, and it's not just because of their smaller body mass. But see for yourself.... You might assign students to research some recent high profile deaths associated with binge drinking or conduct a poll or survey of their current drinking. I found nothing at this site that would be inappropriate for k-12 students and a great deal that would be informative for "at risk" adults. BTW, I located this site and many others in the past from Yahoo!'s Picks of the Week. The links are set in very readable, often humorous prose and often inlcude sites that are clearly not "educational."

It describes a lesson to increase knowledge of a foreign culture, learn and practice research skills and increase skills in working cooperatively. Although used in a foreign language class and for a foreign city, it could easily be adjusted to use for any electronic field trip to any city and in any of the disciplines social studies. The same issue features another in a series of articles by Judi Harris on designing Web-based educations telecomputing activities (see Content and Intent Shape Function). Judi also authored a series of articles on Mining the Internet. Generally, I strongly support the purchase of the ISTE Publications for schools.

122. Article: Alcohol Advertising on the Web
     Recently a truck driver in Wisconsin who killed several people with his vehicle was convicted of reckless driving and fined $250.00. There was no evidence that he was impaired by drugs or alcohol. This constrast rather sharply with the recent case of a man who was seriously impaired with drugs and killed two girls with his vehicle. He faced the death penalty but was given life without parole. Students might be assigned to explore the issues raised by this contrast.

LIFE Photo Home Page Lesson ideas do not need to be at "lesson" sites. Netscape and various "donation ware" HTML editors and a scanner can be used to create interactive multimedia documents on a LAN and techniques for presenting information for educational purposes on the Internet can be locally generated and presented to students. Once teachers learn the simple tasks of using a digital camers, a scanner, a computer and the appropriate software, lessons can be created easily. In fact, some schools routinely assign the tasks of creating "interactive software" to students. Patch High School comes to mind as one of the first to demonstrate a high degree of student involvement in such activities. I suspect that students who are very young can be taught the basics of "tags" and "containers" to produce documents. The newest breed of word processors are bound to fold in some basic HTML. Students with such skills and tools could easily take the idea of photo journalism demonstrated at this site and run with it.... EPW7 Virtual Assignments and Information. Check the more recent presentations as well. The TIME LIFE PHOTO SIGHT A new address forced a revisit to this top professional site. See the "What's New" section for a look at past political campaigns in the United States and a "Photo of the Week" that illustrates a historic event or a personality's birthday. The "PHOTO GALLERY" links to: Great Photographers, People, Places, Polular Culture, Science, Sports and War. A "PHOTO ESSAYS" leads to presentations on: African Americans, Hiroshima, The Oscars and Pioneer Women. CNN Interactive Timeline: May - December, 1995 This site rates high for its organization, elegant simplicity and visual appeal. It also can serve as a "template" for the gifted student who is assigned to do a multi-media presentation using HTML coding and resources (graphics and text) for displaying information in a graphical browser...either on the Internet or a LAN. This page also sports an uncluttered chronology of events (and hyperlinks to link information to events). Using visual information such as this can simplify and reduce the time it takes to communicate a complex assignment to students. If students are informed that their timelines will be showcased on the LAN or the Internet for their peers, parents and other schools to see, they are likely to give it their best.
