TEACHER SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES (FROM PEN)

1) SUMMER WORKSHOP FOCUSES ON TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY
Project PHYSlab, a three-week computer interfacing workshop for
high-school physics teachers, is scheduled for July 1996.  Teachers
will learn and experiment with current technology designed to help
their students understand fundamental physics concepts. 
Participants in this project, funded by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), will receive a $900 stipend for travel, food, and
housing.  The application deadline is February 15, 1996.
(For more information or an application, contact:  Lowell G. Herr,
Project PHYSlab, The Catlin Gabel School, 8825 SW Barnes Road,
Portland, OR  97225; e-mail:  herr@catseq.catlin.edu)


2) TEACHING INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS USING INTERACTIVE METHODS & COMPUTERS
A two-week seminar titled "Teaching Introductory Physics Using
Interactive Teaching Methods and Computers" will be offered from
June 16-18, 1996, at Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA.  This program
will accept 30 instructors from universities, four-year colleges,
and community colleges as well as 30 high school teachers.  The
program will emphasize computer-enhanced interactive approaches to
introductory physics teaching, drawing from the work of several
award-winning projects.  Participants who are accepted into the
program will pay no tuition fees and will have their room and board
provided during the two-week period of the seminar.  Travel to and
>from Dickinson College will be the responsibility of each
participant.  Interested high school teachers may sign up for
graduate credit by paying a fee to Millersville University.
