Creating a New Learning Technology Class
The most direct way to manage participation in Camp Internet for middle school grades is to schedule a new multi-disciplinary Learning Technology class hosted by a computer-comfortable teacher, working with the Camp's online mentors - scientists and historians, and with possible teams of on-campus specialist teachers. This Learning Technology class would meet daily or weekly and work through the multi-disciplinary Camp curriculum together through out the school year. If possible, teachers with related specializations could be brought in for the specific subject matter - for example, in the Fall, the History or Social Studies teacher would assist the class, and in the Winter / Spring, the science teacher would assist the class. To ideally manage this technique, there would need to be a main teacher available consistently every day - perhaps a technology specialist - whose role would be to keep the program on-track, invited teachers present and prepared, and interface with families and community several times a year. We would like to see all teachers involved attend the summer training session, but if that is not possible, then the host teacher should attend and then be responsible for training the other teachers.
