The Education Connection

9615425兰金SOUNDPRINT媒体中心公司（SMCI）提议制作和发行《教育连接》（w.t.），一项新闻服务，将媒体的注意力集中在利用网络技术改革K-12教育中的科学、数学、工程和技术教学的示范工作上。教育连接项目旨在增加科学和数学教育改革报告的数量和质量。通过这个报告，教育连接将带来有价值的信息，那些谁可以采取行动：教师，行政人员和学龄儿童的父母。SMCI将与一个专家咨询委员会合作，该委员会包括执业教师、教育研究人员和专家，以确定技术在科学和数学课堂上的成功应用。“教育联系”将向所有媒体的新闻主任、电台脱口秀主持人、公共和商业电台和电视台广播员以及科学和技术记者提供每月的新闻简报，深入介绍如何和为什么实施基于技术的改革，并向全国广大受众介绍改革的结果。12个主要的基于技术的改革项目将在主要文章中进行介绍，而其他项目将在较短的文章和侧栏中进行介绍。教育连接将有一个无线电广播组成部分，以24个短格式模块系列为特色，以适应现有的广播工具，并作为一个独立的系列，示范科学和技术教育改革方案。将在1997年4月全国科学和技术周期间发行一部完整的半小时录音记录片供广播。一个在线多媒体资源将向用户提供背景资料、信息，包括说明改革项目的计划、照片和图表，以及向用户展示改革是如何进行的其他材料。“教育连接”的目标受众包括K-12学生的家长、教育工作者和行政人员以及一般公众，通过全国公共和商业广播电台、电视和印刷出版物进行传播。在线分发将通过示范项目接触国内和国际受众，最大限度地发挥教育连接的影响。***

9615425 Rankin The SOUNDPRINT Media Center, Inc. (SMCI) proposes the production and distribution of The Education Connection (w.t.), a news service that will focus media attention on model efforts that use networked technologies to reform the teaching of science, mathematics, engineering and technology in K-12 education. The Education Connection project is designed to increase both the volume and the quality of reporting on science and math educational reforms. Through this reporting, The Education Connection will bring valuable information to those who can act upon it: teachers, administrators, and parents of school age children. SMCI will work with an expert advisory board that includes practicing teachers, educational researchers and experts to identify successful uses of technology in the science and math classroom. The Education Connection will provide news directors, radio talk show hosts, public and commercial radio and television broadcasters, and science and technology reporters in all media with monthly tip sheets that present in-depth profiles of how and why technology-based reforms were implemented, and their results to a broad national audience. Twelve major technology-based reform projects will be featured in major articles, while others will be profiled in shorter pieces and sidebars. The Education Connection will have a radio broadcast component that features model science and technology educational reform programs in a series of 24 short format modules created to fit within existing broadcast vehicles, and as a stand-alone series. A full length half-hour audio documentary will be distributed for broadcast during April 1997, for National Science and Technology Week. And an online multimedia resource will provide listener-users with background information, information, including plans, photos and graphics illustrating the reform project, and other materials that demonstrate to the user how change was effected. The Education Connection will target an audience that in cludes parents of K-12 students, educators and administrators, as well as the general public through distribution on public and commercial radio stations nationwide, on television and in print publications. Online distribution will reach a national and international audience with model projects, maximizing the impact of The Education Connection. ***
