- NYSERNet provides the Empire Internet Schoolhouse as an extension of its
- Bridging the Gap program. Bridging the Gap promotes collaboration and
- partnership in the educational community to meet the needs of students
- and educators at every level. Empire Internet Schoolhouse provides a
- selection of K-12 resources, projects and discussion groups from every
- corner of the Internet community. As new users of the Internet, teachers
- and students face a steep learning curve to becoming Internet
- navigators. Empire Internet Schoolhouse, through a simple gopher menu,
- addresses this "gap" in new user experience by providing useful
- resources for the classroom.
-
- The EMPIRE INTERNET SCHOOLHOUSE provides resources for new K-12 users.
- The ASSEMBLY HALL is for discussion groups and posting of current
- projects. The CAREER AND GUIDANCE CENTER provides access to New York
- State College admissions systems and a Q&A system to consider college
- and work transitions faced by high school students. The LIBRARY &
- INTERNET REFERENCE TOOLS contains reference services and Internet
- information. The ACADEMIC WINGS provide subject-oriented information
- tools, resources and projects. The SCHOOL REFORM & TECHNOLOGY PLANNING
- CENTER provides the information on school reform and technology
- planning. The EMAIL facility allows SCHOOLHOUSE users to communicate
- reactions and suggestions to NYSERNet. Finally, FIELDTRIPS TO OTHER
- SCHOOL SYSTEMS allow users to travel by "telnet" to other Internet
- school and educational systems.
-
- We hope you enjoy your visit! Please send requests for additions to
- EMPIRE INTERNET SCHOOLHOUSE or postings of upcoming curricular projects
- to Marion French at mfrench@nysernet.org OR use the Email option within
- gopher menu below.

- Special thanks to the IBM Corporation, the NYS Science & Technology
- Foundation and the National Science Foundation for their support of this
- and other Bridging the Gap programs.
