FRISBY-T@osu-20.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Tony Frisby) (02/07/90)
Hello, a friend suggested that this might be a forum for discussion of the use of computers in the field of eduction, including teacher ed, use in schools, etc. After reading some of the mail, I got the impression your focus was more programming oriented. Do these other topics fit into your charter? I am a graduate student at Ohio State, we recently set up a local b-board to discuss maters in the general field of instructional design, but as yet the service hasn't seen much use. I was hoping to find a national forum that might get more discussion going. Tony Frisby-t@osu-20.ircc.ohio-state.edu Let me know directly, or follow-up to this message, I will continue to read here, what you think.

All you, or anyone need do, is to get a discussion on the topic you with started and usually it will take off. Personaly, I would be very interested in joining in a discussion about the use of computers for instructional disign.

I have been wanting (at the urging of my school-teacher parents) to attempt to provide some _good_ PD/Shareware educational software and/or find others who agree or already do so. What is out there? Does anyone know where to look? What kind of things would educators be looking for? I would be very interested in joining a discussion like this and hope for some varied input.
