[DDN] DDN's bonnie bracey profiled in the new york times
hi everyone - bonnie bracey, a teacher and teacher-trainer who has been an active supporter of the DDN community since the first week of the DDN email list (back in 1999) was profiled earlier this month in the new york times. bonnie has brought great value to DDN with her ideas, her energy and her forward momentum. appended below is the section of the article that talks about her. the full article can be found at http://shorterlink.com/?2NELGY bonnie's DDN profile is at http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/bbracey her blog is at /www.digitaldivide.net/blog/bbracey i often wonder how bonnie is able to fit so much into her day. i suspect it's because she cares a lot. - phil The Crusader: Bonnie Bracey International lecturer on science and technology in education issues Washington, D.C. PERSONAL FUN FACT -- Briefly worked as a fashion model in Paris. Bonnie Bracey stumbled onto technology when she was teaching elementary school almost 20 years ago. ''I was one of those people who said, 'I'm a good teacher, I don't need technology,''' she said. But she had a bright student who ''had a need,'' she said, so she got an Apple computer and tried to learn how to use it so that she could teach it to him. Instead, the child wound up teaching skills to her. They both loved Shakespeare and soon Ms. Bracey found his plays online at the Folger Shakespeare Library. She used the Internet to locate a woman at the Smithsonian Institution who was a Shakespeare expert. Shortly thereafter, the expert visited the classroom dressed as Queen Elizabeth. Next, Ms. Bracey said, the students took to shouting at one another, ''You obfuscating oaf!'' ''Technology gave me wings in a lot of ways,'' said Ms. Bracey, who ended up specializing in science teaching. As an elementary-school teacher in Virginia, Ms. Bracey took her students into new territory, hooking them up with NASA and using Internet resources to help them learn about the Columbus quincentenary. Today she travels the globe speaking at and attending conferences on subjects related to technology integration in education and science. A recent discovery of hers is a Web site, bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu, that gives science classes free remote access to an electron microscope. ''So many free ways to learn, so many resources, so little time to share them with others,'' she wrote in an e-mail message. -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.his.com/pshapiro/ (personal) http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/pshapiro (blog) http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro (technology access work) http://mytvstation.blogspot.com/ (video and rich media) Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others. - Desiderata ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
