Four Directions Site Visit to Oneida
Oneida is a K-12 school system in Wisconsin near Green Bay. They became a part of the Four
Direction Project in the final phase of school selection. Two individuals attended Summer
Institute last year (97). 1998 is the first Summer Institute that Oneida will be sending a
full team. They have requested this site visit for the purposes of more fully
communicating what might be done at the Summer Institute and at their school through the
Four Directions project.
This site visit will be for two days. During the first day, a sharing of other school's
projects from last Summer Institute and a technology demonstration session will occur.
Projects completed by other schools in the Four Directions project will be shown;
technologies that will be demonstrated are, Multimedia Development using HyperStudio,
Audio Streaming using Real Audio, and Web Page development using Netscape Composer and
possibly Microsoft FrontPage. After this, a working lunch meeting with the Four Directions
visitors and the Oneida Four Directions team will take place. During the afternoon of the
first day, a series of small group work sessions will occur in one, possibly two Mac labs.
These sessions will focus on the use of HyperStudio. The second day will focus on
community involvement. It is hoped that Dr. Nancy Allen will be able to attend and present
during this session. In addition to Dr. Allen, demonstrations will show what other schools
have done and what can be done with the available technology.
