TOPIC:  Multimedia In Education

Two fascinating programs will be presented at the November 10 IICS
meeting at Annenberg Auditorium, Stanford University: Myron Puckett
from Decision Development Corp. in San Ramon will demonstrate
Science 2000, an interactive, multimedia educational program
designed to teach science to middle school students. With a mouse,
students can point and click to pull up any one of a number of
databases or video images from the laserdisc. Science 2000 made
histroy recently when the California State Board of Education voted
to allow schools to spend their textbook funds for the
"non-textbook" program.

Lisa Paul from Wings for Learning/Sunburst in Scotts Valley will
show Voices of the 30's, which brings accounts of the historical
events and social issues of the 1930's to life by linking and
indexing the images, sounds, and text in a CD-ROM format for middle
and high school students. Teachers can use Voices of the 30's to
plan lessons or classroom presentations; it also acts as a catalyst
for small group discussions or a hands-on resource center. This
should be a meeting well worth attending!
