Technology and Service Learning

This issue of Network explores some useful applications of technology to service learning. In the classroom, technology, computers, and the Internet can stimulate interactivity and cooperative learning while they forge links between curriculum and community. In this issue, Bonnie Bracey, teacher and member of the National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council, describes an array of projects that can be adapted to service learning. Mary C. Argandona, middle-school teacher and technology coordinator, explains how to set up a school web site. The Profiles section describe several service-learning projects where technology is featured prominently. Review Corner explores a procedural guide and two software programs for setting up web pages. New guidelines for the 1998-99 Robinson Mini-Grants also appear in this issue along with notices of conferences and resources of interest to educators and others working with youth. (authors)
