Grant funded teachers and one volunteer first grade teacher developed MOO skills during MOO Camp, Summer, 1995. 10 additional Longview teachers enrolled in an EDU199 class to learn basic MOO and Internet skills in Fall, 1995. Ten plus computers in teachers classrooms so that they can reasonably manage their classroom activities Because of the ARPA grant, all efforts focused on Longview in the fall of this year. Equipment that was at OMS remained, but no effort was made to increase access from the Middle School. To meet our commitment to the grant required that teachers, as co-developers, participate in the design and then implement curriculum materials in their classrooms.
Implementation translates into classroom access for students.
We are submitting an NSF grant in partnership with Xerox PARC and Longview with an emphasis on mentoring in virtual environments. Two PC Native American students were employed by Longview during the Spring to work in an after school MOO program. Jim Walters and Rose Pfferbaum implemented the PEP grant that connects seniors with Longview students as mentors in the virtual community Jim Walters conducted four training sessions during the spring for a total of thirty-six participants. Nearly one third of the participants did not indicate whether they were students, volunteers, faculty, or staff. Faculty and staff were from Phoenix College.
