Am most interested in anyone who has successfuly worked with
pre-service institutions. Am thinking also, that beyond the technology,
consider reframed conceptions of practices, policies and organizational
settings for teacher learning. The Hawaii Education & Research Network
(HERN) will be collaborating with the University of Hawaii's College of
Education Masters in Education Program this summer as participants in
summer school inviting teachers to submit "best practices" proposals as
stheir summer offerings. Would be interested in talking to others who
have had experiences in this area.
