> The American Social History Project/Center for Media & Learning (ASHP/CML)
> in collaboration with the American Studies Association's Crossroads
> Project, is accepting applications from K-12 and college teachers of the
> U.S History (or comparable interdisciplinary humanities) survey course, to
> take part in the 1999-2000 New Media Classroom program, held at six
> regional center locations across the country. The program is funded by
> the
> National Endowment for the Humanities.
>
> The year-long program begins with a 5-day summer institute and continues
> until the end of the school year, June 2000. Each NMC Regional Center
> program focuses on a specific theme or area of concentration to engage
> faculty in an examination of the issues of narrative and inquiry as they
> pertain to the construction of a new, more inclusive understanding of
> American history and culture, new media resources, and classroom learning.
> Those themes or topic areas have included Cultural Migrations, studies of
> the Western Plains, local history, developing a humanities Web site,
> multicultural studies, and on-line writing and student literacy.
>
> The summer institute program will employ a mix of hands-on activities,
> that
> include both demonstration and presentation. Participating faculty will
> explore a range of new humanities electronic resources found on CD-ROM and
> the World Wide Web, and develop strategies for using new media with
> students. Select activities scheduled that week include:
>
> * examining 'inquiry and archive' hands-on assignments
> * developing a new media lesson
> * roundtable discussions with educational media producers and designers
> * constructing Web sites for the humanities classroom
> * designing student multimedia projects
> * how to use search engines, and much, much more.
>
> Returning to their schools for the 1999-2000 school year, participating
> faculty will test the strategies developed at the summer institute,
> participate in a national on-line forum, and take part in follow-up
> meetings and other activities designed to expand the impact of the program
> at their home institutions.
>
> Cost for participation is $450.00, payable by your institution. (A limited
> number of stipends are available.)
> Each participant is responsible for arranging travel and lodging. Meals
> and curriculum materials (including free software) will be provided.
>
> Specifics for each regional program will vary. If you are interested in
> applying, send a letter of inquiry, fax, or email message to one of the
> Centers located in the following school or college in your region.
