I have a sabbatical scheduled for 2nd semester.  My employer
requires that I earn some graduate credits from an accredited
school during the sabbatical.  What I'd really like to do is spend the
time writing some curriculum materials.  I've taught high school
physics for 25 years and compute science for 10.  I have
accumulated tons of materials and ideas that I'd like to pull
together.  My dream is to restructure my physics course to utilize
the computers, CD-ROMs, video disks, MBL, and other materials to
provide more individualize instruction.  I've already done this with
the computer science classes.  Much of the instruction there is
done with HyperCard stacks that I've written.  The kids work at their
own pace on various assignments, often branching off into
specialized areas of interest in greater depth.  I spend my time
running around doing 1-on-1 help and mini-presentations to small
groups.  I'd like my physics classes to work like this.  I have most of
the resources.  My enemy is time.  My sabbatical is a great
solution.  What would clinch this would be if I could find a school
somewhere that would make it possible for me to earn some
graduate credits for developing these ideas.  Anyone have any
suggestions???
