Designing Online Instruction Tips on designing an instructional web-site (Updated 4/7/01)

How to Kiss a Frog and Not Get Warts

On-line Staff Development ( A web-based science software application staff development program for a Northwest Florida school district.)

• Sample staff development workshop evaluation
• Sample staff development transference of knowledge/skills assessment
• On-line Workshop in Image Processing (being converted to the hurricane project below)

Hurricane Opal Project. Earth-Space Science teachers, if you are interested in using technology to study one of the more fascinating aspects of our planet, then this activity may be for you. I don't think you will find a more comprehensive project on the "Net" than this one. Many of the images used are from my personal collection or have been constructed from publicly available data.

This project has the password currently removed. However if you use the project please send me email ans let me know how it woeks so improvemnets can be made. If you, or your students are not familiar with the use of image processing techniques, I have a series of tutorials which can help in this area. The tutorials are directly related to this hurricane project (08/20/01).

Electronic-tours.com (Journey with Buzz Bear as he explores the world)

New site I've begun developing. Its focus are virtual fieldtrips. These fieldtrips are hosted and narrated by my traveling companion, Buzz Bear. Buzz Bear is a Hi-Tech Bear because he uses a GPS to determine his position in the world. The site will allow students to visit places not normally accessible to them, and along the way, learn to read maps and find places using latitude and longitude positions.
