Teachers need to buy ownership in I.T. early on. Many teachers seperate themselves from I.T., (it's not my field, etc,) Mentorships need to be setup to help engage non-IT teachers.

I. Mentorship's a. InService credit: Apply to teach PD in your local school. Give teacher stipends to attend trainings to encourage mentorship's. b. Colleges should offer Master's specifically designed for teachers to help promote literacy in schools and promote support. EX: http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/Departments/IT/CES/TIP/CESTIP.html

c. Outside services are available to assist schools with programs to integrate technology into curriculums.

II. Teacher/Student model-WIKI forums

a. We talked about the impact of classroom discussion groups. One idea is to get students working with each other instead of a typical teacher/student model.

III. Future: Integration, Simulations Student focused integrated computer based simulation learning (information, challenges & evaluation) environments seem to be the future. This future vision seems to address many of the problems proposed by the moderators of the SIGCT including math-"computer science", integration of real and academic worlds, teaching thinking, research & technology skills, etc. (editor Steve_Phillippy@ACM.org)
