Volume 28 Theme Issues
February 2001 Closing the Digital
Divide
The Digital Divide is often described as a gap in access to technology and information
between groups by any of the following: income, race, gender, location, or
education. Articles in this issue cover the efforts and partnerships needed to
continue to bring access to all students. We also know that access is not the
whole problem in bringing the potential of technology to education. Articles
may also address staff development and curriculum needed to make use of the
technology to provide all students with learning opportunities to meet their
full potential.
Submission deadline: August 16, 2000
April 2001 Student-Centered Use of
Highly Interactive Computer Software
Many powerful software applications now exist from spreadsheets to software such
as GIS, NIH's Image, Microcomputer-Based Lab (MBL), and Mathematica. Some
organizations such as the University of Michigan's Center for Highly Interactive
Computing in Education (hi-ce) are developing powerful tools for specific
curriculum areas (www.investigationstation.org/hiceoffice/index.html). Other
educational software packages have research-based models shaping their
development. All these programs can allow students to explore difficult
concepts, overcome physical or mental handicaps, or make sense of large amounts
of data as opposed to tools used to present and communicate results. Articles
in this issue describe the tools, projects, curricula, and outcomes of using
such software.
Submission deadline: November 6, 2000
