Technology Assessment and Training for Brazilian Schools

Dr. Cindy C. Emmans & Dr. William E. Byxbee
T.H.E. Journal, Vol. 24, No. 6, January 1997 p. 55-57

In a training effort for teachers at a collection of K-12 schools, the authors traveled to Rio de Janeiro to conduct a two-day inservice workshop. Its focus was "hands-on" exposure to various educational software as well as the Internet. This article describes the structure of the workshop and feedback from the Brazilian teachers. Issues particular to such distance training efforts - language and cultural differences - are also discussed.
