Based on the work of the New Jersey Networking Infrastructure in Education (NJNIE) project, it has been demonstrated that thoughtful integration into the curriculum of Internet-based resources has enormous potential to improve teaching and learning. "The Alliance for Training K-12 Teachers in Instructional Technologies: A National Internet-in-Education Teacher Training Program," combines and builds upon two types of outreach programs initiated in New Jersey: partnering with community colleges to provide teacher professional development, and developing turnkey trainers or "mentor teachers" to become staff developers in their schools/districts. The Alliance aims to provide professional development equivalent to a 30-hour graduate course to a minimum of 2,400 teachers in three cities (Cleveland, Miami, and Phoenix) through a network of local organizations utilizing exemplary curriculum materials and a turnkey training approach. The workshop series includes: (1) introduction to using the Internet; (2) the Internet as a communications tool; (3) collaborative projects; (4) real-time adventures on the Internet; (5) identifying and integrating compelling World Wide Web sites into the curriculum; (6) strategies for finding educational Web sites and searching for information; (7) unique resources for social science and language arts; (8) creating a school Web site; (9) classroom management and training strategies; and (10) final presentations.
