Educational Technology Fellowship Available:
Region V and Region VII Schools Form Innovative Collaboration

The instructional technology departments at the University of
Virginia and the University of Houston are establishing an
innovative educational technology fellowship program.
Participants in this program will have the opportunity to work
with faculty at both universities on several national
projects.  Telecomputing will be used extensively in the
establishment of this collaborative effort.  Participants in
the program will receive a graduate degree (master's or
doctoral) in Instructional Technology from the University of
Virginia upon completion of degree requirements.  

Fellowship recipients will join a team working on several
national projects.  One aspect of this program will be the
opportunity to participate in the publication of Interface, the
nationally distributed newsletter for technology and teacher
education.  Another fellowship activity will involve working
with a team which is establishing a national Internet
information server for STATE (the Society for Technology and
Teacher Education.)  A third activity will involve
establishment of collaborative educational projects among
teachers in Virginia and Texas.

There are several circumstances which which make this
collaborative fellowship program involving two different
universities possible.  Both universities are lead schools in
different regions of the IBM Teacher Education Grant
consortium. (The University of Virginia is the lead school for
Region V, while the University of Houston is the lead school
for Region VII.)  In addition, both states have established
educational telecomputing networks for teachers.  The Virginia
Public Education Network (Virginia's PEN) provides Internet
access to teachers in Virginia, while the Texas Education
Network (TENET) provides Internet access to teachers in that
state.  Both programs also have strong interests in
constructivist applications of educational technologies. 

Participants in this fellowship program will receive a stipend
of $12,000 during the 1993-94 academic year.  Prior experience
with educational technologies is not a requirement.  Strong
consideration will be given to candidates with experience and
interest in the public schools.  Applicants should send a
letter indicating interest in the position, a resume, and three
references to the following adress by May 1, 1993:
