             GNET: an Archive and Electronic Journal

                  Toward a Truly Global Network

Computer-mediated communication networks are growing rapidly, yet
they are not truly global -- they are concentrated in affluent
parts of North America, Western Europe, and parts of Asia.

GNET is an archive/journal for documents pertaining to the effort
to bring the net to lesser-developed nations and the poorer parts
of developed nations.  (Net access is better in many "third
world" schools than in South-Central Los Angeles).  GNET consists
of two parts, an archive directory and a moderated discussion.

Archived documents are available by anonymous ftp from the
directory global_net at dhvx20.csudh.edu (155.135.1.1).  To
conserve bandwidth, the archive contains an abstract of each
document, as well as the full document.  (Those without ftp
access can contact me for instructions on mail-based retrieval).

In addition to the archive, there is a moderated GNET discussion
list.  The list is limited to discussion of the documents in the
archive.  It is hoped that document authors will follow this
discussion, and update their documents accordingly.  If this
happens, the archive will become a dynamic journal.  Monthly
mailings will list new papers added to the archive.

We wish broad participation, with papers from nuts-and-bolts to
visionary.  Suitable topics include, but are not restricted to:

   descriptions of networks and projects
   host and user hardware and software
   connection options and protocols
   current and proposed applications
   education using the global net
   user and system administrator training
   social, political or spriritual impact
   economic and environmental impact
   politics and funding
   free speech, security and privacy
   directories of people and resources

To submit a document to the archive or subscribe to the moderated
discussion list, use the address gnet_request@dhvx20.csudh.edu.

Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.gopher

Sextant is a new Internet Gopher client for Macintosh. Sextant was designed
for easy use by the majority of Macintosh users in a typical CWIS
environment. Sextant supports folder, file, search, and CSO name server
types currently and ignores Gopher+ information. Future versions will
support the Gopher+ attribute blocks and Binhex downloading.

Sextant 1.0b16, the Sextant User Guide, and several reference files are
available for anonymous ftp at

ftp.brown.edu
/pub/gopher/Sextant.sea.hqx

NOTE: This is a beta distribution. Sextant 1.0b16 does have some known
bugs, but each is quite tame; these will be fixed in the next release.

Please send all comments, suggestions, and bugs to this address.

        Can someone help me?  Our Center licensed and recorded "PageMaker 4.0

        Because this presentation was to be used by the Graphics and Computer

I am willing to send blank videos and a copy of the license to anyone who

What is "visual literacy"?

I'm working on my master degree dissertation, the subject is
about the use of outliners and mapping concept tools in the
teaching of texte composition and thought organization at the
high school level. Could it interest me?

I might know about it but since I'm french (yep that's where
the accent come from) I might not know the proper translation
for it.

	Visual literacy provides a really interesting perspective on media
analysis.

	For instance, the "America's Shame" MacWorld magnifies its message
with moody, Casablanca style photos printed in a sepia tone...As if the
technological underclass was the real problem and not just a symptom!

This is probably an emulation program called "][ in a Mac".  It even made the
funky Apple II beep if I remember correctly.  I don't remember who made it,
though, nor if it is still available.

Subject:      Re: Visual literacy interest group

Hi Denis: A number of researchers and academicians are still trying to define
visual literacy. Here are a few examples: 1. the ability to read and write
visuals; 2. a group of vision competencies a human being can develop by seeing
and at the same time having and integrating other sensory experiences; 3. the
learned ability to interpret the communication of visual symbols (images), and
to create messages using visual symbols; 4. the ability to translate visual
images into verbal language and vice versa; 5. the ability to search for and
evaluate visual information in visual media. Visual literacy includes: visual
thinking (sounds like your interest), visual aesthetics, creative exploration,
visual linguistics, visual communication, visual symbology, visual expression,
visual learning, visual education, visual awareness, visual understanding,
visual creativity, visual evaluation, visual message encoding and decoding.

As you might imagine, we are a very eclectic group, and our national
conferences are fabulous. Let me know if you would like additional info.

As a healthcare professional and fortunate public educator in
Virginia where we have a state network linked to Internet, I
DEPEND on the internet.  I can get info through the EDTECH or
the National Library of Medicine's ETNET.  All I can say is
thanks to the wisdom of administrators in Virginia who realize
that "Information/Knowledge is Power".

Hope this testimonial is helpful, Cheryl.

Subject:      Re: Justification for internet

Regarding Cheryl Wissick's call for justification:

Cheryl, I would mention to your administrators that the InterNet is such
a powerful component of education at any level that no amount of staff
development can match!  I have seen cases where teachers became so
turned on with the quantity of information at their disposal and the
relative ease of locating this information that some were transformed
into instructional dynamos at their local level.  As a matter of fact,
next week, one of these very educators is presenting a session at our
statewide computer conference on the topic of the Internet and its
effect on classroom instruction.

Does your administration realize that some vocational journals are
available for receipt electronically?  As a former industrial arts
(technology education) teacher, I can tell you that the official
journal of the International Technology Education Association is
transmitted electronically via the Internet.  Others are, as well.
For the business education types, the usenet newsgroup, k12.ed.business
is a wonderful forum for discussion among teachers.

I see just these few phases of the Internet to be well worth the
cost.  As a principal several years ago, I used to preach to the
school board to try and understand the differentiation between
"expenditure" and "investment."  In both cases, you have an
exchange of money.  In the case of expenditure, you give your
money to somebody for some type of goods or service and that
person goes his/her merry way.  However, when one invests,
money is given to someone else, but the return on that exchange
of money keeps on coming back over and over.  Therefore, why
would they NOT(!!) invest in the future of the students under
their tutelage, all the while empowering both teachers and
students?  Who knows, they might even find out that there
is such a thing as the discussion group "EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION"
and they could receive answers on *their* problems?

Several of the students I teach now at Mississippi State
University read this list, so perhaps some of them will decide
to contribute their own comments about the worth of the
InterNet and its justification in the face of reformed
instructional techniques.
