• W216223883 abstract "Imagine watching fifth-graders in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, examining and comparing the anatomy of zoo animals in their own classroom--while the animals are more than 200 miles away. Incredibly, that's what we did one day last March in a live videoconference with the Bronx Zoo in New York. Our distance learning adventure began in 1999 when my students communicated with a group of their peers in another Maine school using desktop videoconferencing technology called CUseeMe. At the time, I was looking for ways to integrate technology into the curriculum that would offer my students a project-based approach to researching real-world problems. The thought of connecting students to the world outside of the classroom drew me to live video, and CUseeMe provided the first step. Our initial connections with another class made it clear that students were extremely motivated to pursue topics in greater depth when they had access to resources generally not available in school. I knew that more sophisticated videoconferencing systems existed in the world of business, but until I viewed an educational video highlighting a small group of students working with a scientist live on camera, I had no idea what was happening with videoconferencing in K-12. It was time to find out, so I submitted my application for a year of sabbatical leave to do some research. The technical aspects of videoconferencing were interesting, but more exciting was the possibility for students to engage in interactive communications with experts outside of Maine. What better way to help prepare them for today's challenging society. Maine is basically a rural state with limited field trip opportunities for students; I hoped to be able to bring them more. Technical Challenges As I began my research in fall 2000, I contacted and received support from Verizon of Maine. The guidance I was given enabled me to learn about the basics of videoconferencing and to see what opportunities might be possible for students in our state. About the same time, someone directed me to the previous summer's National Education Computing Conference brochure, which included a classroom videoconferencing session given by Stan Silverman of the New York Institute of Technology. When I contacted him for information about his presentation, he invited me to visit the campus to see videoconferencing equipment more sophisticated than desktop systems and to explore potential classroom applications. My visit was not only exciting and informative, it also introduced me to a helpful distance learning consortium, the NYIT Educational Enterprise Zone (EEZ). This was the beginning of significant technical challenges since Maine schools had no way to make videoconferencing connections to institutions outside of the state. Connections within the state were already underway using ATM technology, but there were no plans to establish a gateway outside the state for educational purposes, especially at the elementary or middle school level. Much of my sabbatical was spent meeting, e-mailing, writing or phoning technology consultants to find a method that might possibly work. Since I was a novice about the types of connections available, this was a real learning experience for me personally. Establishing a Path to Success Besides technical challenges, there were other obstacles within the school system. It was tough convincing the district's technology department to devote some of its limited resources in time and personnel to experiment with a brand new concept that might or might not be successful. This was at a time when there were already major technology initiatives taking a fair amount of everyone's attention. The first was a statewide initiative to provide every seventh-grader in Maine with a laptop computer. The second initiative was the proposed installation of ATM technology at our high school. Because I was still learning about equipment and connections myself, I wasn't able to answer many of the questions asked by the technology staff. …" @default.
