> WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW WITH 
> PRE-COLLEGE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS BY ELECTRONIC MAIL?
> 
> Recent estimates indicate that there are now more than 
> 50,000 classroom teachers from primary, middle, and 
> secondary schools who hold accounts on the Internet.  
> This makes a very special kind of learning available to 
> them: one which directly involves subject matter experts 
> communicating with students and teachers about their 
> specialties, via electronic mail.
> 
> With support from the Texas Center for Educational 
> Technology, we (at the University of Texas at Austin) 
> are now piloting a new Internet-based service (the 
> "Electronic Emissary") that will bring together pre-
> college students, their teachers, and subject matter 
> experts (SMEs) electronically, helping them to create 
> telecomputing exchanges centered around the students' 
> learning in the SMEs' disciplines.  For example, 
> 	
> *  A class studying South America could learn about 
> recent global environmental research results from a 
> scientist who studies rainforest deforestation in 
> Brazil.  
> 	
> *  A class studying geometry might "talk" electronically 
> with Euclid, who is actually a mathematics professor.  
> 	
> *  A class studying the future of education might 
> converse with an emerging technologies specialist from 
> California's Silicon Valley.  
> 	
> *  A class studying American History might 
> electronically interview Harry Truman, who is really a 
> curator with the National Archives.  
> 	
> *  A class exploring the rapidly-changing governmental 
> structures that are emerging in what was once the Soviet 
> Union might correspond with a group of graduate 
> political science students at a university in the CIS.  
> 	
> *  Or, a class reading _Huckleberry Finn_ might 
> correspond with an African-American studies scholar 
> about the repercussions resulting from the enacting of 
> the Emancipation Proclamation.
> 
> In this pilot phase of the project, 10-12 SMEs or SME 
> groups are needed to correspond regularly (approximately 
> 4 times per week) with primary, middle school, or 
> secondary students and their teachers (1 SME or expert 
> group per class).  Each electronic exchange will begin 
> with 2 weeks of project planning via electronic mail 
> between the SMEs and the teachers (2/16 - 2/28/93).  
> Communications with students will begin during the week 
> of March 1st, and will continue for 4 - 6 weeks.
