who is going to read this stuff? and more imptly., who is going to produce it?
the great thing about bawp is that writing and publishing your TI work informs the
way you teach writing. and that leads immediately into questions of teacher training
in tech and tech infrastructure. Admission of the unique resources and time available
for teachers in these samples results in “Hey, teachers write books, right?”
The teachers that write books don’t need these websites. The teachers that do not write
books will never go to them. It’s like asking a struggling reader to enjoy Faulkner. Yes
he can enjoy Faulkner, but there are some preliminary steps that get him to believe that
he himself is a reader and a writer.
Did Carnegie build the system? What did it cost in money and salary?
ncte system called co-learn (they have a niche market?)
22 teacher leaders in the TI group

Tom: what’s going to take teacher inquiry into change of practice?
For example, like a museum, the KML Gallery provides a public forum in which interested audiences can learn about the scholarship of teaching and get access to some of the latest examples, findings, and resources. The workspaces provide a private online enviornment that serves as a laboratory in which individual faculty and institutions associated with Carnegie Programs can examine their teaching and develop electronic portfolios, articles and websites that share their teaching materials, reflections and insights with others. At the same time, the virtual workspaces also function as a library that provides Carnegie Scholars with access to a growing archive of work of faculty in many disciplines and levels. Senior Scholars Tom Hatch and Toru Iiyoshi are involved with the Carnegie Knowledge Media Laboratory |
