Abstract
Internet. I'd heard the word just a few times before I was asked to attend this conference. The mentioning of Internet conjured up all kinds of images of people speaking "techie" jargon that was very foreign to me. In the past 6 weeks, I've been briefly introduced to this vehicle on the information highway and have discovered a whole new horizon.
Right now I feel like the student driver. I've got this machine to get me somewhere, but I need to try out all the little gadgets to see how they work. I need to see what happens when I go this way and that way. Assuming the role of a student, I begin the task of investigating just what it feels like to encounter something new. What can I and others gain from that learning? What makes it go? How can I do that? and on and on and on. When delving into a plan for staff development it is imperative that the same questions that teachers have (which are the same ones students will ask) are brought forth to consider.
After reading as much as possible, it is my understanding that teachers need help, training, time, and access to insure that the benefits of Internet reach students. In preparing a plan for staff development, each one of these issues needs to be considered.
