- This site distributes research information from the national survey, Teaching, Learning,
and Computing--1998, a study of teachers' use of computer technology, their
pedagogies, and their school context. More than 4,000 teachers and related technology
coordinators and school principals participated in the study. The study included
schools and teachers from a national probability sample and also included purposive
samples of schools and teachers because of their participation in major school reform
programs or their unusually high amounts of computer technologies available.

- Eleven different search engines were scanned for eight different terms (used as
keywords) taken from physics and chemistry. The number of found documents
were registered. I think that the number of documents is the primary parameter
when you're looking for scientific information. My estimates show that the
maximum number of documents which can be found in the Net is less than 10% of
the number that can be find using a good scientific database like INSPEC or CAS.
Thus, the bigger is the database of a search engine, the higher are chances that
you won't miss something important.

- Why relatively few of this nation's 2.8 million
teachers use technology regularly in their teaching; how
teachers are prepared to use technology; what happens when
they do use technology; and what factors influence
technology integration in schools. The report also examines
what roles schools, districts, states, the private sector,
and the federal government play in supporting teachers with
new technologies; considers why the potential of technology
is not further exploited; and identifies significant
barriers to effective technology integration into our
education system. Especially useful for our project is
Chapter 5: "Technology and the Preparation of New Teachers".
