Education and Technology:

Serendip was founded ten years ago in part as "a continually developing set of resources to explore and support intellectual and social change in education ...". Over the past decade, Serendip has been involved in an extended (and continuing) process of "trying out things" to see how the web can be used in education.
Here we try and summarize lessons learned to date. After a brief outline of "Background and Theory", we provide a list of "Practices" with links to specific examples and critical consideration. Our hope is not only to provide things that might be useful to other educators but to encourage other educators to join us in further exploration of how the web can contribute to deeper, richer, and more available education. Inherent in this effort is a belief that the web, by encouraging innovation in a number of directions of particular promise in an educational context, provides an environment in which ideas about education can evolve and be tested for subsequent use not only in the web context but in educational environments of all kinds. Please join us in helping to think about education using the prism of the web as a starting point. Your comments and additions can be posted directly in an on-line forum area or emailed to us. Special arrangements for inclusion of materials from particular classes or groups can readily be made by contacting us. References
