At the IU's Digital Learning Materials
site,
you will find a wide spectrum of lesson plans developed by Internet Learning Community Projects over the past 5 years. These plans form the seed-bed of a rich archive of easily accessible digital learning materials for K-12 teachers and all learners. Future IU work aims to improve and expand these resources, and to build an open learning environment in which to find, customize, and save learning resources.
This month’s featured resource is from the California Heritage Project, and contains material about Mexican Independence Day; the lesson plan is organized into five 30 minute class sessions, and covers SFUSD 3rd and 4th grade Social Studies standards.

The IU's Internet Learning Community Projects (ILCP) are continuing to conduct professional development seminars, and plan for Summer 2002 Institutes--opportunities that not only give projects a chance to hear what teachers experience and need in their classrooms, but also augment area and content knowledge for teachers. Seminars and Institutes are designed to introduce teachers to a growing archive of Internet resources--including ways to utilize these materials in the classroom.
First, we highlight a recent workshop in which teachers from Oakland met at the Center for Latin American Studies for a program focusing on migration. During the second part of their day on campus, the teachers visited the Berkeley Art Museum exhibition, Migrations: Photographs by Sebastião Salgado. There they were able to see over 300 photographs and hear an informational presentation from UCB graduate student Laura Hobson. Read the whole story at the CLAS site.
There are upcoming Seminars and Summer Institutes as well. Continue on to the IU News April 2002 page to read about offerings from the Bay Area Writers Project (BAWP), and The Office of Resources for International and Area Studies (ORIAS). | |

The Interactive University Project (IU) enables UC Berkeley to make its unmatched resources of people and knowledge available on the Internet. We serve learners and educators, targeting K-12 teachers, students, their families, and local communities throughout the Bay Area and California. |

 A third phase of work is set to commence in Fall 2002. The goal is to open UC Berkeley resources to K-12 teachers, students, and all learners, by making them available on the Internet. A new website explains and demonstrates some of the plans and ideas.
