Extractions: Clearly, and thankfully, the decade-old "early days" of educational computing have evolved to the current period of widespread, highly sophisticated uses of cutting edge technology that could only be imagined when computer programming was the principal occupation of PCs. And the innovative projects described here are not all that is happening in Oklahoma. Smaller and younger projects also abound, such as the following sample: Project Network is a program of the 400-student Frontier Public Schools in Red Rock that is using computers in a Title VII special alternative instructional program primarily for bilingual Native American students in grades one through four. Younger students are producing video versions of their favorite picture books and older students are producing a community news program; At Norman High School, mathematics department head David Drennan is using graphing and symbolic calculators to enhance his calculus lessons and as he awaits delivery of an LCD screen. Such tools allow him to introduce to his students far more complex and realistic problems than was possible before; In the Jenks Public Schools near Tulsa, Joyce Friske, director of technology, is implementing the first year of an entirely networked school district to support improved communication among the five campuses that make up the district. All teacher work areas, counseling areas, media centers, administrative areas, and support systems such as the print shop, transportation, and maintenance will be able to communicate through E-mail with the start of the school year;

Email , Fax: (505)476-9761 Phone: (505) 476-9764 August 30, 1999; #1320 SURVEY In February of this year, State Librarian Ben Wakashige asked leaders in the education and library profession to come together to create a task force to discuss the status of libraries in New Mexico's schools. Members of the New Mexico Task Force on School Libraries have concluded that a survey of all public schools was the first step in determining what is needed to improve all school libraries. The survey will assess staffing, training needs, technology and facilities, and funding for materials. The survey is being sent to all public schools to collect information on the current status of libraries and media centers. In a landmark 1993 study called "Impact of School Library Media Centers on Academic Achievement" carried out in Colorado by Keith Curry Lance, Lynda Welborn, and Christine Hamilton-Pennell, clearly established a direct relationship between student academic achievement and expenditures in the school's library media program. Recently, an expanded study showed that reading scores were five to ten points higher in schools with well funded, well staffed, and well integrated media centers over schools in which this was not the case. Using these findings, the New Mexico Task Force on School Libraries hopes to address the large issue of better education in New Mexico. Information from the survey will be used by the State Department of Education, the New Mexico State Library, the New Mexico Library Association, and the New Mexico Legislature to establish a profile for the current state of school libraries in New Mexico.

Extractions: "All Aboard!" for National Board Certification for Library Media Specialists! by Patty Sorensen Library Media Specialist, Middleton Elementary School Sherwood, Oregon MultiMedia Schools • November/December 2001 O ne of my favorite stories as a child was The Little Engine That Could . The Little Engine started out with an "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" attitude. By the end of the story due to his perseverance and belief in himself, he wound up with "I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could." One year from now I hope there are hundreds of media specialists across the nation who will be saying, "I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could" after they become the first group of library media specialists to attain National Board Certification for the Early Childhood Through Young Adulthood/Library Media certificate, under development by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. This certificate is for accomplished library media specialists teaching students ages 3-18+ who can demonstrate knowledge of information literacy, instructional collaboration, and integration of technology. In September 2000 I was thrilled when I was notified that I had been selected to serve on the Library Media Specialist Assessment Development Team. Having read the criteria for selection, I had filled out my initial application the previous June and thought to myself, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." Prior to our first national team meeting, I did what comes naturally to media specialists: I researched National Board Certification [http://www.nbpts.org]. I wondered how anyone could ever develop assessment activities that would fairly assess the variety of activities of an exemplary media specialist whose roles and responsibilities—our roles and responsibilities vary so much from building to building, district to district, and state to state!

Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts The National Science Foundation (NSF) today announced the establishment of four new Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) that will explore innovative materials and stimulate the integration of research and education in the field of materials science. NSF will invest $24 million over five years in the centers. The new centers will be located at the California Institute of Technology, the University of Oklahoma/University of Arkansas, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Virginia. Each award is initially for five years, and continued NSF support is possible through competitive review. State governments and industry partners will also contribute substantial support to the new centers.
