DLM Index feature: "IT Careers". This month's featured resource
was prepared by UCB undergraduate Education 191H students
in collaboration with the Interactive University. The purpose of the IT Careers website is to help students become familiar with Information Technology and be able to connect the knowledge they have from classroom to jobs and careers. This project also hopes to break the myths and pre-conceived biases that students have about technology. The Careers project strives to incorporate information about: weblogging, researching companies, and powerpoint presentations.

On
Thursday, November 7th, students met in science teacher Bob
Banos' robotics lab at Galileo Academy in San Francisco to
visit Michael Eisen's Biotechnology lab at Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory (LBNL) without ever leaving their classroom
 Galileo
students participated in a Tele-Actor field-test produced
by Ken Goldberg's Alpha Lab and Robot, Clone, Human (RCH)
team-giving a virtual twist to the old idea of a field trip.
The Tele-Actor is a skilled human outfitted with cameras and
microphones connected to a wireless digital network. Live
video and audio are broadcast to participants via the Internet
or interactive television. Using the Tele-Actor, students
can explore distant or restricted sites-such as a microelectronics
clean room, a surgical operating room, or a biotechnology
lab.

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.
| IU Future--Evolving Our Model |
 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.
IU activities are coordinated by UC Berkeley's Information Systems and Technology.
