The UWM Computing Services Division presents:
TELECOMMUNICATIONS: BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE CLASSROOM,
a two-hour videoconference featuring the 1992 award-winning Christa
McAuliffe educators.  Innovative teachning techniques from around the
country will be featured.

¦ Connecting students from around the globe using show-scan video.  Voice
and picture messages are carried over telephone lines from Michigan to
Japan; connecting students and teachers in the Garden City Public Schools
with their Japanese contemporaries.

¦ Teaching about cultures close to home. Technology is being integrated into
multicultural programs in Little Wound School in South Dacota to educate and
to preserve value of traditional Native American culture and customs.

¦ Achieving real live studies of our earth.  Students in Arlington, VA are
taking part in the National Geographic Kids Network to share current
information in an international telecommunications-based science and
geography curriculum studying acid rain.

Other telecommunications issues for students will also be addressed,
including planning and policy issues, governance, curricular issues,
technical requirements and financial impact.

This program is free and available to all Milwaukee-area cable TV
subscribers who receive the HECC channel (see listing below.)  The program
will be broadcast on Monday nights in November at 10:30 pm.  It will follow
the locally produced Higher Education Journal, which features the endeavors
of Milwaukee's institutions of higher education.  If you don't have cable,
or your cable company does not carry the HECC channel, contact me about
borrowing a videocassette.
