About the Workshop
The K12 Web issues and practice workshop is a two part workshop. The
Saturday sessions are "Hands on", for those who have little or
no
experience with the World Wide Web. Following a background briefing on the
internet, will be a very practical set of workshops, with one computer per
participant. By the end of the day participants should feel comfortable
with the concept of the World Wide Web and accessing it through the
"Netscape" Browser.
The Sunday session is designed for those interested in issues arising from
the World Wide Web. There will be a short lecture to set the Internet into
an historical perspective and to outline the technical aspect and costs
of
networking the internet into a school. This will be followed by an
audience discussion about the issues relevant to schools in particular and
society in general including the use of the internet as a general
information and curriculum material resource, censorship, copyright and
the
future.
Who should attend
The K12 Web issues and practice workshop is intended for K12 teachers and
administrators with an interest is assessing the potential of the internet
for schools. Some prior experience using or making policy regarding the
World Wide Web is expected, for the Sunday session.
