Abstract: |
“Boston Unbound,” a study funded by The Boston Foundation (a Mass Insight Technology Road Map sponsor) and the basis for a recent opinion piece in The Boston Globe, and an interview with Bill Guenther in this month’s Boston Business Journal make one consistent point: Higher education is at the center of economic development in any technology-based state. Both public and private universities are major contributors in fostering more collaboration. Both articles recognize the importance of universities and teaching hospitals to connect the dots more effectively between collaboration and a new competitive commitment.

Inquiry in interaction: How local adaptations of curricula shape classroom communities |

Author(s): |
Enyedy N, Goldberg J

|
Keywords:
|
|
|
Abstract: |
In this study, we seek a better understanding of how individuals and their daily interactions shape and reshape social structures that constitute a classroom community. Moreover, we provide insight into how discourse and classroom interactions shape the nature of a learning community, as well as which aspects of the classroom culture may be consequential for learning. The participants in this study include two teachers who are implementing a new environmental science program, Global Learning through Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE), and interacting with 54 children in an urban middle school.

Online Community and Professional Learning in Education |
|
Author(s): |
Havelock, B.
|
|
Keywords:
|
|
|
Abstract: |
A growing body of research in education and professional development for educators indicates the importance of social relationships in the developing professional lives of educators. Teachers who regularly engage in social and professional ways with other educators beyond their classrooms are much more likely to display the professional hallmarks of continuous inquiry and effective teaching than their colleagues who operate in isolation behind their classroom doors (Riel & Becker, 2000; Darling-Hammond, 1999; Wilson & Berne, 1999). While teachers’ immediate milieu for professional learning beyond their classrooms is that of their school and district setting (Fullan, 1991; Elmore, Peterson & McCarthey, 1996; Westheimer, 1998), this review explores the challenges and potentials of learning communities for geographically dispersed groups of educators through online, or Internet-based environments.

Abstract: |
Web-based learning systems, if designed appropriately, offer many advantages over the traditional learning environments. This study addresses the design and development of new approaches and network technologies based on the newly induced pedagogical models to support collaborative teaching, knowledge sharing, lifelong learning opportunities for anyone to offer or participate in courses free of charge.
