Making an Interface That's User Friendly

The dictionary defines the word "interface" as a communication or 
interaction; and as computer hardware or software designed to communicate 
information between devices, programs, and users.  From this definition 
comes the name of this newsletter which is designed to provide a means of 
interaction for all schools involved in the IBM Teacher Preparation Grant 
Project.  

This forum will provide member schools with opportunities to exchange 
ideas concerning communication and interaction related to computer 
hardware, software, and users (interfacers)!   Each issue will consist of 
news, articles, Spotlight articles, NewsBytes,  and other useful 
information.  Interface will be published four times a year and 
distributed  to the approximately 144 schools of education participating 
in the grant schools project as well as selected IBM regional offices and 
other educational sites.  Articles related to any aspect of technology in 
education and/or teacher preparation at your school may be submitted.  

Through this collaborative effort, we will try to provide you with a look 
at the  kinds of programs your colleagues around the country are 
developing.  Where possible we will include contact information about the 
projects and activities that appear in this newsletter, and hope that this 
information will encourage you to share resources with other IBM Teacher 
Preparation Grant Schools.  If you have any questions, comments, 
suggestions, or would just like to chat, please feel free to contact us at 
the address below.  

We would like to include an article about your school in the next issue.  
Articles should be one half to one page in length and may be sent by 
surface mail, fax, or electronic mail to the addresses listed below.  If 
you have photographs or graphics you feel will help describe your projects 
and activities, we would like to include them with your article.  This 
might include scenes of your campus, computer lab, a sample computer 
screen, or your school logo.  The submission deadline for the summer issue 
of Interface is May 30, 1992.
