How I heard about Network Democracy:

edinfo@inet.ed.gov

My experience in this area:

I am interested in on-line staff development for elementary school mathematics teachers. I have taught elementary school, written elementary matheamtics curricula, and currently work on a project that is creating materials to support wide-scale staff development. I also work part-time on a project to use MUDs to teach mathematics and science to fifth graders.

What I hope to learn:

I am particularly anxious to learn what other people are thinking about using the Internet to support teachers as they work with innovative curricula. What sorts of things might help new users? How about more experienced users? What about graduate courses on-line? What sort of facilities (IRC, MUDs, email lists, etc.) might help teachers help each other?
