The inaugural issue of Innovate, a peer-reviewed bimonthly e-journal
featuring cutting-edge research and practice in using information technology
to enhance education is now available at
http://www.innovateonline.info
We invite you to do more than simply read. Use our one-button features to
comment on articles, share material with colleagues and friends, and
participate in webcasts with authors in our Innovate-Live forums. Join us in
exploring the best uses of this technology to improve the ways we think,
learn, and live.
Chris Dede starts us on that journey with expert commentary on the
ever-expanding field of learning technology tools. Multi-user virtual
environments and ubiquitous computing promise to do away with limits on how
and where students learn; Dede translates this vision into concrete terms.
Joel Foreman joins him with a focus on video game studies as both a growing
academic field of study and as an open arena for pedagogical reform. Donald
Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul Lefrere consider how new technologies change not
only on the way we access knowledge, but also the way in which we experience
it.
These articles are followed by four descriptions of how information
technology tools are being used now to enhance educational processes.
Gilbert Valdez, Kathleen Fulton, Robert Blomeyer, Allen Glenn, and Nicole
Wimmer share the results from a study that compared six different teacher
education programs, focusing on how each school used technology to prepare
trainees for work in high-poverty districts. Robert Wood explains how a
coordinated effort in his department to offer students a variety of rich
technological resources resulted in greater cohesion within the curriculum
itself. Jonathan Maybaum describes a Web-authoring system that gives users
the ultimate control over their sites, yet remains elegantly utile. Diane
Harley, Jonathan Henke, and Michael Maher describe the benefits of online
technology for large lecture courses.
When you access your first article, we will ask for your name and e-mail
address. You will not have to provide this information again to access
additional articles as long as Innovate remains a free journal. We are
actively searching for sponsors, but we need your help to secure their
support. To that end, we also ask for demographic questions designed to
establish a professional profile of Innovate readers. This information will
be used only to compile data for potential sponsors; it will not be sold or
otherwise disseminated. If you prefer not to receive promotions and
announcements from potential sponsors, please check the designated box.
Once again, welcome to the Innovate community. Read, learn, share. Help us
define the future of education.
Please forward this announcement to appropriate mailing lists and to
colleagues who want to use IT tools to advance their work.
Many thanks.
Jim
