Internet Resource Directory, Part 2: Interactive Access (Telnet) Sites of Interest to Educators version 2: August 5, 1993 The information in this file is the result of Internet "prospecting" and teamwork by 24 eastern Nebraska teachers and 22 teachers and trainers from Texas who were enrolled in graduate Internet-based telecomputing courses during the Spring 1992 & 1993 semesters at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Texas at Austin. Much of their work for the course entailed exploring different Internet resource sites, then writing, fieldtesting, and revising friendly documentation describing online resources that they felt to be of value to teachers, trainers, and their students. Below please find information on many Telnet sites. Please forgive any grammatical errors that you find, understanding that some of the authors who contributed entries to this document are not native English speakers. Also, please remember that Internet sites can change daily, so although the entries that you see below were correct and up-to-date when they were created and tested, they may not be so when you read them. **This is NOT meant to be an exhaustive list of all of the sites of use to educators**. Rather, it is a beginning of what we hope will be an ongoing collaborative effort among telecomputing educators on a larger scale. We invite you to use this, share it with other teachers, amend it, append to it, and update it. We hope that the information that it contains will be useful to you.

Ross *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- TELNET SITE NAME: BUBL: The Bulletin Board for Libraries INTERNET ADDRESSES: sun.nsf.ac.uk 128.86.8.7 DESCRIPTION: This site is devoted to information for and about libraries with the emphasis on those in the United Kingdom. It would be of great interest to those in the library field in any country. Because some of the information is specific to computer use in the United Kingdom, it would best be used by the intermediate or advanced telecommunications user. SERVICES: Available at this site are reviews of library journals and their most recent contents, a review of listserv groups, and software that could be used to manage a library. LOGIN SEQUENCE: 1. telnet sun.nsf.ac.uk 2. login: janet 3. Password: guest 4. hostname: uk.ac.glasgow.bubl (Before the hostname, you can also type 'h' for help.

Chose the area of interest by letter 7. At the bottom of each screen, you are given a list of options allowing you to change sections or quit. FRIENDLY ADVICE: Because this is a site outside the United States, some of the information on how to obtain and use the information will be difficult for those not familiar with systems in the United Kingdom. There is however some fascinating information at this site and it is well worth the extra effort. Of particular interest were descriptions of special and rare book collections found in Section H - Users' Board. Also in this section, were collections of quotations about libraries. This section is fun and not to be missed.

The project is "THE LONGHORN PROJECT INB COMPUTER SCIENCE." This project is an on-line collections of classroom materials specially selected to meet the needs of high school teachers of Advanced Placement Computer Science classes. The materials have been contributed by high school computer science teachers and classroom- tested. Teacher using The Longhorn Project are encouraged to browse the database and select materials to be downloaded on their own terminals for classroom purposes. Categories of materials include: Lesson Plnas, Tutorials, Programming Assignments, Algorithms, and Questions for Homework and Tests. In the future, it is conceivable that the materials from NSF workshop will eventually be incorporated into the database. Since this is in the pilot stages, the system is not completely robust. Feedback about the system is being sought.

FRIENDLY ADVICE: The authors of this document strongly recommend the use of ERIC. It is simple to login, search and exit. Clear directions are given at the bottom of each screen. Graduate students in Education will find ERIC helpful for doing research. Since a fee is usually charged for doing ERIC searches in university libraries, conducting your own searches will save both time and money!

ABOUT THE SIMULATED SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH This simulated space shuttle launch is a telecommunication simulation designed to assist school students in learning more about the space sciences and about telecommunications. At the core of the launch is a permanent full-scale mock-up of a space shuttle (called the "Centennial") complete with "Mission Control," which is located at University School in Shaker Heights, Ohio (Cleveland area). During this particular launch student "astronauts" will enter the mock-up and fly a very detailed and quite realistic 10 hour mission. For example, Centennial astronauts during this mission have been selected by NASA to talk directly via amateur radio with real astronauts in orbit flying shuttle mission STS-37. Other schools around the country and the world will be taking various roles in this simulated mission. This includes schools in California and Finland who will be alternate landing sites (weather stations), and an Ohio school which will be serving as a solar disturbance observatory. Shown 53%, press for more, 'q' to quit, or 'h' for help Coordination and communications between the shuttle's mission control and the other schools is conducted through the Cleveland Free-Net. Electronic mail is sent back and forth, hourly reports are posted, even real- time electronic "chats" occur between mission control and its support units. Of even greater importance, however, each "mission" becomes the culmination of weeks of educational build-up. Classes in science, mathematics, even English and reading are geared to the forth- coming "launch." Students construct their own weather instruments and other equipment, acquire computer skills, and sharpen organizational skills to help them fulfil their part in each mission. The contact person for this (April 9th) launch is Bob Morgan (ac343@cleveland.freenet.edu) The next launch will be a one school-day simulation on May 17th The contact person is Linda Delzeit (aa621@cleveland.freenet.edu) End of File, Press RETURN to quit FINAL NOTES ABOUT THE CLEVELAND FREENET: This Telnet site is definitely one of the easiest to log on to, one of the easiest to use, and one of themost comprehensive in terms of a variety of information available.
