10. Dayton Daily News - newsroom intranet demo
    Michael Jesse of the Dayton Daily explains the process of creating a news backgrounder library in the form of an Intranet (although they mention the possibility of making the service available to the public on the Internet). Since students and reporters are frequently asked to accomplish similar tasks (research), schools and teachers might also benefit from the creation of school intranets that provide internal browsable/searchable Web documents in HTML to guide and assist students in various research tasks. Other newspapers in the Intranet path are discussed at http://sunsite.unc.edu/slanews/intranets/index.html

20. Share Carolina - UNC-CH
    Offers the soruce code for several Web tools. A couple might interest schools and teachers:
    1. Discussion Forums -- A web tool for promoting scholarly discussion between students, instructors, with messages are stored in threaded fashion and sorts by author or date. You can see an example on the page. Might be just the answer for schools that have an "Intranet" and are concerned about the content on regular chat forums.
    2. Course home page builder -- a cgi-formulated template that will create a Web page for a particular course and includes provision for a syllabus (or course requirements), course calendar, grading policies, links to online readings, and a link to the instructor's Web page. Again, a sample of the course home page builder is online.
    3. Faculty home page builder -- A cgi-formulated template for creating a Web page for a particular instructor.
    4. Form Builder-- A template that creates Web-based forms and surveys.
    5. The quiz builder -- A template that creates Web-based quizzes and sends results to a designated location.
    
    Some teachers currently schedule class time for supervised "practice" where students work through a set of questions and check the responses against an answer key. They also use similar tools for "pre-testing" and for review. While this is sound practice for a number of reasons (especially the immediate feedback), it does take class time from other activities. With an online tool similar to this (or one that evolves from this type of tool), a students, his teacher and his parents could all measure and monitor progress on a learning continuum, because the results can be sent to a "designated location" (a parent Email address). I see no reason why a tools such as this could not be used in any content area. With the results of daily progress on a learning continuum fired home for parents to read, parents would not be asking "What did you do in school today." Fold in some graphical tools for students and parents to see learning progress over time and some remedial instruction/reteaching additions, and you have a framework for some great individualization (and student/school/home collaboration).
    Please do not misunderstand. The Web (even a local version) provides great potential as a source of teacher-generated tutorials/guides/lessons/evaluations in a framework that is interactive and attractive to students. While it is a valuable tool that may be used outside of the classroom, it does not replace the classroom, but extends and enhances the classroom.

    Webmonkey - HTML Tutorial
    The Monkey just got better... Now showing a great visual tool for the common tags and pages for the more advanced tools and tags.

    Bret Thayne Bottger: HTML Writer by Kris Nosack, Personal Homepage
    With so many new schools and teachers online starting with the new school year, this download site is worth a visit. If you are new to HTML and using an IBM type maching, this is the editor for you (or your students) to evaluate. It is "contribution" ware, which means that you send your payment ($10.00 is suggested) if you decide to use the software. Thus, it is inexpensive and very easy to use. (I don't get a share of the profits for the plug. In fact, I sent Kris a check for $40.00 because I use the editor daily.) For those with 32 bit Windows95, try the Agile HTML Editor (Which I have not tested or used). Need some help to get started on your page?

    Setting Up A Web Site For Your School: An On-line Presentation
    With so many schools going online, the technical aspects and steps in forming pages can be an intimidating task for both students and teachers. The "Hagerstown Experience" documented at this site should help all to overcome the jitters. I especially liked the section that shows how to set up "templates" for projects. Some other sites might help with the graphics and scanning procedures. See Scanning Guides and The Scanning FAQ - Intro Page for Tips and Techniques of Image Scanning for the Desktop Publisher, Multimedia Presentor, and Graphics Artist. A visit to A Compendium of HTML Elements should help with the simple HTML stuff that you will need. AToolbox Plus For Website Builders Frames Version should also prove helpful for basic and intermediate levels. Advanced techniques for page construction are covered at the "Creating Killer Websites Online - Core Page." Although this is a promo site for the book of the same name, it contains some great suggestions and demonstrates some of the authors recommendations in its "presentation." I found the site so interesting that I purchased the book. Sites that will prove helpful in delivering course content on line include Delivering Instruction on the World Wide Web (A fine and detailed tutorial on the topic) and HOW TO OFFER A COURSE. Other site to visit include How to Build a (Dynamic) Web-Based Course and Web/Teach.97 Web-based Instruction: Issues and Answers. This last link is a Conference site to be held November 6-8 at Mankato State University Mankato, MN.

    If you think this publication deals only with the electronic bells and whistle you are in for a great surprise. The concept of technology displayed at the site is global -- technology means tools, all sort of tools and includes intellectural and cirtical thinking tools. The June (98) issue of this excellent publication by Jamie McKenzie illustrates this very well, and featrues (among a host of topics) a set of links to articles on "Questioning" that should be very useful for teachrers. One of the articles provided a few graphic organizer of question types (generated by Inspiration), a detailed discussion of questions and links to other previous articles on the general topic These are: Following articles previously published in From Now On: A Questioning Toolkit, The Question is the Answer: The Research Cycle, Telling Questions and the Search for INSIGHT. All of the articles may be duplicated for educational use but are otherwise restricted. For the graphic organizer, select the following graphic (highlight with mouse), copy the URL (ctr/c in Windows) and paste it (ctr/v) into the location box in you browser. http://fromnowon.org/nov97/essentq.gif

A series of "modules" provides direction for the project. What are the reasons for offering online instruction in the K-12 community? Are the skills and components the same, similar, or different? What kinds of results can be expected? Fewer teachers teaching more students? Elsewhere it is stated that "Virtual universities are evolving today as a response to an environment that is demanding new kinds of learning, evolving new kinds of knowledge, creating new kinds of learners, and developing new forms of knowledge access. These universities are expected to perform their missions as the "learning stakeholder" in the society and economy, while holding the line on resources." Same for K-12?

He's gone through D.A.R.E. and listened to the lectures of his parents and teachers. However, he thinks they are all just handing him a line. After all, he sees lots of adults smoking and figures it isn't really so bad. In fact, he thinks it's pretty cool. But he might listen to you. After all, you're his peer. That's what his parents are counting on. They've hired you to convince him to quit smoking. To do so, you must show your commitment to the fight against youth using tobacco and create a memorable message for him. Do a good job - it could be a matter of life and death."
