are looking for some way to recognize women in your classes, club, or other group, please consider showing a video from Miller Library's collection. To assist in identifying titles, we have created a Web site listing our videos having to do with women's and/or gender issues. The list is arranged by Library of Congress call number.

http://cs3.wnmu.edu/elearning/a407/ Technology has the potential to dramatically improve the education and quality of life for people with disabilities. This module presents you with a basic foundation for understanding technology in special education, a functional model for selecting the best technology applications for students with special needs, and strategies for applying your knowledge to practical situations. |
http://cs3.wnmu.edu/elearning/a402/ The lessons in this module examine the impact of technology, such as word processors and web-based, multi-media communication, on the development of students' writing skills. Teachers are introduced to the writing product, the writing process, the developmental stages of learning to write, databases of "research-to-practice" studies that inform teaching, and "research-in-progress." |
http://cs3.wnmu.edu/elearning/a405/ This module examines how technology can support and enhance math instruction. The lessons of the module will introduce you to the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM) math standards within the areas of math content and processes, research-based and promising practices in math instruction, how technology can be integrated with these practices, and how the use of technology in math instruction can help students learn to apply their math skills in non-school settings. |
http://cs3.wnmu.edu/elearning/a406/ The lessons in this module present research-based methods for monitoring student behavior and academic progress. They explain how teachers may use this information to evaluate current and plan future instructional and behavioral interventions following a decision making model. It is also explored how computer and information management technology tools support and facilitate the collection, storage, and analysis of observational data. |

If some of you feel that you are using thesameold lesson plans and lack technology skills, you can accessa web-based"professional competency continuum"developedby the MilkenExchange on Education technology. The assessment tool can be foundat http://www.mff.org/edtech/.This won't help the old lesson plans but will tell you how skilled you are in technology skills.

High Tech in the High Country
In November, 1999, the Gallup Graduate Studies Center (GGSC) activateda
Polycom View Station for videoteleconferencing. Supported by a
full T1 line, the station makes live, interactive meetings andclasses
a reality. Connecting at 384kbh makes for real-time viewing of
all the action. If you have a course you would like to make available
in Gallup, check with Tim (505 538 6360) in MediaServices for
availability and with the GGSC (505 722 3389) for feasibility.
The Gallup Graduate Studies Center has its own domain on the worldwide
web. Go to http://www.wnmu.org/for
access to the brochure and class schedule, web sites for each
of the programs, and much more. Here is how you or your colleagues
and students can connect to the rich content of our courses: http://www.wnmu.org/schedule.html
The Counseling masters degree program in Gallup is now equipped
with a state of the art observation/recording system with cameras,
one-way mirrors, listening/viewing stations, and immediate play
back for reflection groups in training. For more information,
contact PatMaguire or point your browser to: http://www.wnmu.org/Brochure/CounselingFolder/Counseling_Page.html.
The Gallup Graduate Studies Center is hard wired directly to theinternet.
Students, faculty, and staff are instantly on-line anytime of
the day or night with high speed connections. The modern laboratory
is equipped with PowerMac and Dell computers, color printer, laser
printer, scanner, digital camera, video camera, and the applications
to support professional computer materials production.
Instructors and students can depend upon high tech in the classroom,as
well. Computers, videos, recorders, and more can be connected
to large televsion monitors and/or Proxima desktop projectors.Each
classroom in the new building has two long white boards and one
long chalk board, screens and overhead projectors, and access
to the internet.
