Help SchoolNet Design a New Treasure Chest of Teaching Ideas

MANY TEACHERS HAVE ASKED SchoolNet for more help in finding interesting new "lesson plans" and instructional units. They want more "Canadian" materials.

We need your help in designing such a Canadian treasure chest of teaching ideas. It will be available through SchoolNet.

The Treasure Chest of Teaching Ideas will be a Canadian file of English and French materials (and possibly in other languages as well) provided by Canadian teachers and distributed through SchoolNet to any teacher wishing to use its contents.

PLEASE REPLY TO bpowell@globalx.net

If you agree to comment on our draft design of the Treasure Chest -- the result of examining more than 60 such databases worldwide -- we will send you an EXPLANATION of the concept, PLUS a DESCRIPTION of the "model" of the system FOR YOUR COMMENTS through e-mail.

We think that you will find this to be an interesting and rewarding venture. We are aiming for a system that is defined by teachers themselves, culturally neutral and pedagogically universalistic.

Time Is of the Essence

We are pushing to get the Treasure Chest designed and ready to receive lesson materials by September 1996. So, if you are willing to help, please say so right away.
